I'm enjoying the work while I get it right now.

You can't cancel my stand-up tours. It's impossible. There's too many separate bosses. There is no 'bosses.'

Some people think it's demeaning to victims if you ever say anything out-loud about sexual abuse of children. I don't know if that's true.

Life is full of horrible mistakes.

Breaking records is not something you expect to be doing. That's like a sports thing, it's not usually a comedy and writing thing.

You need to build an ability to just be yourself, and not be doing something.

The earliest stand-up comedy I was aware of was Bill Cosby. I watched Saturday Night Live as soon as I was aware of it, and Monty Python used to be on PBS at weird hours, so I used to try to watch that. And I loved George Carlin on SNL, that was the first stand-up I ever really remember seeing on TV. And then Steve Martin. I guess I was in fifth or sixth grade when Steve Martin showed up, and he was instantly my idol. And Richard Pryor around the same time too, I sort of became aware of him, though I don't remember the first time I saw him.
