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'm grateful that I had that uphill battle for 10 years of going onstage and having nobody know who I was, because you have to win them over. I have a lot of friends who were stand-ups, and they just stopped after a while, because they didn't like that battle. And then they would get on a sitcom and get visible and get back into it, because the audience was just way easier on them. That's why they're okay stand-ups, but they're never going to be great, because they don't have that presence. They never built those muscles up.

What I was trying to say in that bit, without saying it out loud, is that there were things - you're right, everything is very politicized these days, literally down to what kind of coffee you drink - that I used to fight with people about. And by the way, not just people like Republicans and Christians, but liberal friends of mine and very radical left-wing types, and alternative, indie types.

I fantasize and idealize myself as Bugs Bunny, but I know deep down I'm Daffy Duck.

I don't want to get into extended conversations with people on MySpace, because there are friends I have extended conversations with every day.

Any comedian who tells you how dark and dangerous they are, they're not dark and dangerous.

People will find transformation and transcendence in a McDonald's hash brown if it's all they've got.
