I consider myself a sit-down comedian really, as much as anything else. I love comedy. Life is a cosmic joke.

I do think there are deep structural things that are wrong in the world.

I don't want to be a professional cripple. And I don't see the suicide stuff as tragic.

The cultural mix that's happened in the United States is wonderful! Funny enough, one of the most wonderful things about it is that there is no American race.

I looked at what adults were doing and how they wanted to earn money, and I really didn't want to do that. I wanted to go away.

Im not, by nature, a collaborator. My biggest influences were people like painters and poets. These are solitary workers.

I don't do live things.
