I am Jewish and proud of this culturally and ethnically - the ways in which I was born this way and am happy with whom I am.

If I have to write by a certain time, I can pull through, but usually I just let stuff happen, hanging out with comic friends - or bringing a basic idea on stage and seeing if it goes anywhere.

The good news is hopeful doesn't mean dumb. The bad news is cynical doesn't mean smart.

I am 39 years old, and I still wake up every morning really excited I don't have to go to school.

It shows the truth - that the real meaning of a word is only as powerful or harmless as the emotion behind it.

If I don't do stand-up for two weeks, I get freaked out.

I have a ton of Holocaust stuff, and some of it is really hard core.
