I'm all sentimental. I've probably been ruined by romantic movies, but I really do believe in love. I've experienced it, I've had it, so I know it's real.

I like talking about things that are taboo, because it makes them not taboo anymore.

Dear America, when you tell gay Americans that they can't serve their country openly or marry the person that they love, you're telling that to kids too. So don't be f**king shocked and wonder where all these bullies are coming from that are torturing young kids and driving them to kill themselves because they're different; they learned it from watching you.

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

Jews, black people - any people who are hated or who have suffered, either as individuals or as a people - use humour. It is a survival skill.

The best time to have a baby is when you're a black teenager.

I'm Jewish, but I'm totally not.
