Reality: What a concept!

Comedy can be a cathartic way to deal with personal trauma.

To be acknowledged for who and what I am, no more, no less. Not for acclaim, not for approval, but, the simple truth of that recognition. This has been the elemental drive of my existence, and it must be achieved, if I am to live or die with dignity.

You have to break in half to love somebody.

It is hard to find something where you can go off as much as I do in stand-up, but I think stand-up allows me that freedom where you can really go off and have a good time.

We used to be hunter-gatherers, now we're shopper-borrowers.

Comedy is acting out optimism.
