I'm a comedian at the beginning and the end of the day. I'm not affiliated with any campaign, nor do I generally find politics interesting enough to plan to be involved.

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

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

A long-term relationship is about showing up and working hard and banking on each other. If one's down, the other might be up and can help the other one up, and sometimes you're both down and you just [band] together. Endurance is a big theme of it for me. That might not sound romantic, but I kind of think that it is.

Well, Mitt Romney is a very attractive comedic target. He’s irresistible to me. I mean seriously, I want to pay less attention to him.

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