My last name is Szekely. Sounds like Saykay. When I was a little kid I had an instructor in camp who called me Shnizneckely. He would make fun of my name and it hurt my feelings because I was a little pussy and I cried. He said, 'Well, how do you say it?' I said, Seekay. So he wrote 'C.K' on my jersey and everything. He made my name 'C.K' and I just stuck with it.

Comedy isn't polite and it isn't correct and it isn't accurate, even. It's just a mess. So that's the way that I approach it.

I've started to kind of hate people, and it's not because I have anything against them. It's just, I enjoy it. It's recreation.

I love comedians. They're my community.

I've met a lot of people who've lost their jobs and they still have a sense of humor.

I think one reason TV has always done well is because there is something comforting where you kind of know what you're going to be taken through.

Television for a child creates such a high bar of stimulus that nothing else competes. A beautiful day is absolute crap to a kid who watches tv.
