I don't think of marriage as the drudge work that a lot of sitcoms and movies might have shown it to be, I think it's more deadly murderous rage, unadulterated passion, soul-crushing purgatorial dread... It's more interesting.

It's a good idea to have a break, to let your mind rest and so you can start to cultivate ideas.

People moved in across the street and are immediately cutting down a huge tree. Their toothbrushes will know my buttonhole.

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

With Twitter, you just want to make people laugh in their meeting; on stage, people have paid for their tickets with their hard-earned money, so I owe them the truth as I experience it.

I think your ambition for something changes as you go.

On stage, I'm me. I'm a husband, I'm a dad, I'm a guy, I'm a mess - but I am a cohesive thing that you recognize as one human entity saying these things that he generally believes.
