I love performing. I love being a provocateur. I love putting myself in situations that are uncomfortable and that I have to get out of.

Things are so scary and intimidating with AIDS and the right wing that people are looking for somebody to just give them safe harbors.

People want to be famous, they want to be loved, they want to be accepted. They want to push aside their past and the things that have been embarrassing to them.

Hip doesn't really come into play anymore as far as I can tell.

I would be dishonorable in a relationship because I wasn't getting what I wanted from that person.

I don't think somebody can just, like, wave a magic wand and make you a star.

It's depressing sitting at a comedy club all night, waiting to get on to do your five or ten minutes of material.
