Knowing comedy is knowing human nature.

As unhealthy as I am, I'm weirdly aware of exactly how my body functions.

Yeah, there were a few years in the early nineties where I really began to hate what was valued as funny and just sort of what was valued in stand-up, period.

I think right now is the best time for stand-up, ever. I sincerely do.

We need conservatives that can accept gays, and then we need hippies that can shave and bathe.

So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, 'The good outnumber you, and we always will.'

I grew up in such a featureless, personality-less suburb. There was nothing to push against.
