Depression taught me the importance of compassion and hard work, and that you can overcome enormous obstacles.

But I also know in standup, there's nowhere to hide. You get on stage and you deliver, or you are eviscerated and you are thrown into a pile of bodies at the bottom of a mountain.

It's probably not love if you don't press your face to the toilet seat after they've used it to feel their warmth.

In high school, I definitely fancied myself an intense guy, which is so lame.

Elderly people, I have found, when they're being honest, are also scumbags, and enjoy a little prurient humour as well.

It makes me sad that corporations and media and Hollywood conspire to make people feel terrible about their bodies from the second they wake up ,so I sort of try to subversively undercut that.

I was an extroverted kid and performed, like, acting and singing. Then, the older I got, I realized I enjoyed performing things that I came up with myself more and I enjoyed making people laugh more than making people cry or think.
