“I’m interested in taboos for certain reasons. They can dramatise things and they’re scary, and they’re important to think about.”

I’m happy with what I’m doing. I try not to focus on how I’ve changed. I just try to focus on what I’m doing now.

People give me money and I don’t know why, my real collection plate is an empty cup held by a homeless guy.

I do think that stand-up comedy in general heavily favors masculinity and so I like to act a little feminine onstage.

I’m friends with a lot of comedians, but we don’t talk about material. Most comedians I know don’t watch a lot of other comedy.

Postmodern comedy doesn’t work well with very old audiences, because it’s making fun of the comedy they enjoy.

If I had a dime for every time a homeless guy asked me for change, I’d still say no.

I don’t want to try to recreate for no reason. Like, me in my bedroom, singing songs to a camera was a special thing that was at that time in my life. But I’m just not that kid. I like the format of it, but I want to be able to release things for free.

The world doesn’t need any more hot chicks or tough guys or smooth talkers – the world needs more you. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

I just try to do things on stage that I think the audience would enjoy. And I try to draw on and add to acts that I’ve enjoyed watching.

There’s a certain line between jokes and music and poetry that’s a bit blurred in my mind.

Poverty. Racism. Isn’t it strange, only the homeless are begging for change?

I think the love-hate is fundamental. Everyone hates reality television, and everyone’s watching it. Everyone hates Facebook, and everyone is on it.

I believe, firmly, that women are always right. Ah, I should actually rephrase that: I… don’t.

Because I see that as a crutch sometimes and I want to know that I can do something funny and worthwhile without that. And also make a show that my parents would like and that kids could watch with their parents.

They must have some special kind of cereal!’ My mind was so warped by the idea of fame.

Thomas Jefferson-another gorgeous white boy who would not have been interested in me. This was my problem in a nutshell. To get some play in Charlottesville, you had to be either a Martha Jefferson or a Sally Hemings.

I’m not trying to stump anybody… it’s the beauty of the language that I’m interested in.

You’ve got to lie to stay halfway interested in yourself.

I can’t imagine why you’re so interested.” he shook his head. “interested? We’re talking about you. I’m fascinated.

And I dont really want it to carry one. Im not interested in the subject matter to try to teach society anything, or to try to better our world in any way.

You cannot will yourself to be interested in something you’re not interested in. But you can actively discover and deepen your interest.

I couldn’t be sufficiently interested in human beings to be a writer if I had contempt for human beings.

I don’t think I ever really got interested in theater.
