I didn't feel so different until maybe, like, around third grade. Kids started blaming me for my people killing Jesus.

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.

I'm not wanting and I don't live in a hovel, but if you keep your costs low, you can do what you want to do creatively.

I tend to be more arrogant on stage. Far more ignorant. I sometimes say what I think and sometimes say the opposite of what I think and the lines get blurred, but I can only hope that some kind of absolute power transcends.

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.

By the time I would have graduated, at 22, I was a writer and featured performer on Saturday Night Live.

I don't want to be a facilitator for other funny people. It doesn't seem smart for me to be in a comedy and not be funny. My spirit can't take it.
