There's something about cats' self-sufficiency and their seemingly individualistic ways that I find compelling.

What appealed to me was the intimacy of the medium, the fact that I was doing it from my home, and the fact that I wanted to talk. I was not there to plug things. I don't do a hell of a lot of research. I go on a sort of kindred-spirit bonding that preexists the interview, and just see what unfolds.

I believe in God... just in case. It's like there's some list somewhere and you don't want to be on it. I don't want to say THERE'S NO GOD! and then die and say, Oh, Hi... Is there some kind of community service I can do?

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.

It's easy to maintain your integrity when no one is offering to buy it out.

I don't really compartmentalize well. I'm in a state of anxiety and panic a lot, but it's for different reasons. It used to be because I had nothing going on, but I work very hard and there doesn't seem to be an end to it.

I just wanted to be a good comic and had no sense of show business, but at some point you want the opportunity to write a show about your life.
