I've come to be pretty selective about the type of advocacy that I do, because I kind of feel like it's stronger to just do my work and let it speak for itself.

I feel that religion can be used as a tool to guide your life and help you connect with other people.

I have one of the worst voices in the history of recorded time.

I just love all the music. My grandma was a church organist for 40 years, and she got me into jazz music and great songwriters, Harold Arlen, George Gershwin, all those folks. I can't do it, but I have a profound respect for it.

I think that's where it comes into play, when you are just looking at a document or whatever and you see the word "disability." Does that automatically trigger something in you that denies someone their personhood?

Most of my work is comedy; it's meant to inspire empathy in people and help them find joy.

We did a book signing and people came up to me. There was an expectant mother who was like, "I think we might name our child Zach because of your work."
