Some people say my humor focuses too much on stereotypes. It doesn't. It focuses on facts.

Everyone self-Googles. And, I have, of course, the Google alert.

Your inability to see yourself clearly is what's keeping you alive.

I became known for surprising audiences. Except now, if I surprise them every time, they expect that.

I was paralyzed with fear. It was unbearable to be among other kids who were just standing around being fine. It was one of the many inconveniences of this paradox I lived with -the more people I was surrounded by, the more frighteningly alone I felt.

I'm doing stuff on Kaballah and Scientology and a little bit more racial stuff, for good measure.

I think maybe I became funny because as a kid, I was a Jew in a town of no Jews, and being funny just instinctively came about as a way to put people at ease around me.
