You want the world to be set up for you, but sometimes it just isn't.

I talk about Breaking Bad being the most brilliant show ever, and even minor characters have subtle nuances and are fully drawn.

The most important thing is to have the conversation, and let people who do make mistakes feel comfortable enough to continue the conversation.

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."

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?

I feel a lot of personal responsibility to undo the negative stereotypes. I know that it's not coming from a bad place. It's coming from an ignorant place. I can sort of be an ambassador in a subtle way to say, "This is what I am: a comedian, a show host, a writer." It will still always be part of the conversation and people will want to focus on it because there is a culture that is so embedded that if you have a disability, you're someone to be either admired just for living, or be pitied for having to struggle.

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