Whether I go to English-speaking countries or non-English-speaking countries I can just modulate to what works for them.

The stuff that I'm saying, they're not really traditional, structured jokes. It's not like I'm talking about growing up in Chicago or anything remotely close to that. It's basically me juggling words and concepts and phrases and being stupid.

Music and art is regarded as extra and can be the first thing that you cut in a school program, and it's completely not true. If you want to create really boring, frustrated human beings, then yeah, cut out art and science.

Religion can only dream to do what science and art does every day.

What I'm doing on stage now is just the tip of the iceberg.

If I can learn a couple of phrases in Italian but do mostly weird, absurd music things, people will like it.

It's hard to move on when you can see too many good possibilities or any kind of possibility really. That's something that always kind of slows me down and can be a bad place to be in.
