I'm not fundamentally a writer. I know writers, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for them. It bothers me that no matter how well I do it, it's not really my format.

I came upon whatever I'm doing organically. I didn't study anything. I don't have any real aspirations other than to connect with somebody, and to have the conversation be genuine. That's the best that can happen. Even if it only happens for 10 minutes in an episode. But I think what people forget is that you don't have to try to get a comedian to be funny. Comedians are innately funny. That the real challenge of talking to them is to get them talking about real things and then see where they need to be funny. And let them do that on their own volition.

I used to do a lot of drugs. I didn't stop because I didn't enjoy them; I stopped because I couldn't handle the commitment.

I'm not completely sure we aren't all living in a hallucination now.

We need the children of Indonesia and the Philippines to manufacture our freedom of choice.

I'm sad to see the passing of the great drug warriors. I certainly did my part in that battle and I don't regret any of it.

I have a very primitive sense that if I just turn on a radio or the television, that somebody's playing that stuff for me.
