Comedy is acting out optimism.

If you don't keep pushing the limits, you wake up one day and you're the "center square to block."

Death - to blink for an exceptionally long period of time.

Sometimes it’s more noble to tell a small lie than to deliver a painful truth.

For me, comedy starts as a spew, a kind of explosion, and then you sculpt it from there, if at all. It comes out of a deeper, darker side. Maybe it comes from anger, because I'm outraged by cruel absurdities, the hypocrisy that exists everywhere, even within yourself, where it's hardest to see.

With a bike you go from zero to a hundred in terms of mobility.

My childhood was lonely. Both my parents were away a lot, working, and the maid basically raised me. And I think that's where a lot of my comedy comes from. Not only was the maid very funny and witty, but when my mother came home I'd use humour to try and get her attention. If I made mommy laugh, then maybe everything would be all right. I think that's where it [my comedy] all started.
