I don't think comics necessarily think in literary terms. There is an element of developing your stage persona and your comedic voice, but I don't think comics see it like a character in a novel.

If you're funny, you can find a stage to get on. If you're good, you'll start to get work and eventually get paid.

Dave Chappelle is about as gifted as it gets, as a performer and comedian. [...] It's always great to watch him work. He started around fourteen and he's in his forties now, so he's probably been doing it for close to thirty years. He's brilliant.

Comics definitely embody the importance of practicing free speech.

I often think about my future wife and how lax she's been about getting in touch with me.

I'm just looking for a little mystery in life... like things you can't explain. Like, you go to Mexico, they tell you don't drink the water. You go to any diner here, who brings you the water? It's a mystery.

In terms of my own work ethic, I've always been a determined person. When I'm focused on something, I try to see it through.
