I think I realized it was an art form at the beginning, but it took me a really long time before I was able to view what I was performing myself as an art form.

There's something kind of beautiful about that pure love of things. Like, "I'll show that I love the thing I love by hating everything else."

Stand-up is something I just truly love to do, so I'll always go back to it. I'll never stop doing it, that's for sure.

I really had to imagine the kind of person that I would have been if I had never left my hometown... I don't think I would have been a very pleasant person.

I have to drink this much to be as unfunny as you.

One of my groupies gave me a film that they made, and it ended up being amazing, so I got it shown at South by Southwest. If I can help get their stuff out there, then great.

90% of every art form is garbage - dance and stand-up, painting and music. Focus on the 10% that's good, suck it up, and drive on.
