I never said that movies were struggling behind TV. I'm just saying that movies have a better creative cache.

There's nothing wrong with doing comedies, and I'm not against comedies, either, but I always want to do stuff that keeps me off my guard and gets me out of my comfort zone.

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

I can't say that I ever abided nerd stereotypes: I was never alone or felt outcast.

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.

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

It wasn't until I went to college and met different people from different areas of life - and then went to San Francisco and met people who really knew who the hell they were - that I kind of caught up in a hurry.
