“What’s changed? I’m a dad. That’s fundamental. Watching your kids grow, you go back a bit.”

I think if people value democracy, they had damn well better get out and exercise their right to vote while their vote still means something.

We have cultural depth. We get all kinds of stuff to chew on, to live on.

Certain kinds of people just can’t live life taking risks with adventure.

Slowly you become your own man.

Dynamic benign neglect.

The pervasive attitude is that it’s crazy to invite more danger into your life.

We have a society that’s trying to make sure that nobody gets any adventures because adventures are dangerous and danger is bad.

That’s right! The women are smarter!

My dad didn’t graduate from high school, ended up being a printing salesman, probably never made more than $8,000 a year.

My views about God come from my dad. Dad told me that he believed Nature, which to him included humankind, to be so beautiful, so magnificent, that there had to be something behind it all.

My dad never graduated high school. He was a printing salesman.

My dad loved comedians, especially George Jessel, and he loved Henny Youngman and Buddy Hackett.

I grew up on the back of a motorcycle – my dad didn’t have a car until I was a teenager. And then my closest friend from grade school was a guy.

I started out being a stand up and writing my own material. That took me to Talk Soup, where I was writing and performing for TV.

I was raised by a single dad, so I’ve always just kind of liked “guys” stuff. I think my dad just took me to the things he was interested in.

I miss my Dad. My Dad loved cheesy monster movies, so we’d have Godzilla movie marathons. Those are some of my favorite memories, laughing at how the monster outfits were so bad, like black garbage bags for heads.
