The image people have of comedians staring defiantly over a stationary line of good taste is simply inaccurate. We don't approach this line, put our toes over it arrogantly and then scamper back to safety. The line doesn't exist.
Communicate and just be open with each other. Have an unpleasant talk once in a while so it does not turn into a festering resentment, which is inevitable. It has happened with every girlfriend I have ever had.
It's nice to have funny friends. I like watching my friends perform.
I choose to believe that we are addicted to the rush of being offended, the idea of it, rather than believing we have become a nation of emasculated children whose only defense against an abyss of emotional agony is a trigger warning.
I like Fox, but I also like Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon.
The one curse in America is that we deny who we really are and what we like.
Wherever I go, there is definitely my audience. I would say in some places there's more of them than others, but it's one advantage to performing for a long time and building up kind of a reputation with a certain crowd.
I always wore a hat. They were gonna throw me out of high school because I wouldn't take my hat off. But it was just a deep insecurity about my awful hair.
I am a really bad boyfriend.
Regular people are the problem. It's not the government, it's not the invasive Big Brother, it's the fact that we're a nation of snitches and nosey people who then cry when somebody wants our personal information. I'm talking about people who are being voyeuristic to people's privacy.
I never expect anything. The more good things that happen the better, but I never expect anything.
I unloaded trucks for a living and I hated it.
People say that Americans trends are transient, but the one activity we never seem to tire of is being outraged. Boy, do we love it!
I'm a much nicer guy than people think I'm going to be.
Being a harsh, dirty comic, the last person on earth I ever expected to help my career was Jay Leno. I had always thought of performing on 'The Tonight Show' as an unachievable goal, because I bought into the myth that only squeaky clean, family-friendly material would be welcome there.
Trevor Noah is a great, relevant young comic, and Comedy Central is smart to stand by him.
A lot of racism is paternalism. A lot of people hide their own racism because they treat blacks, minorities and other groups like children because deep down they feel superior and better than these people. And they don't feel like they should just treat a guy like a guy.
I am a degenerate, and I know that.
I like to keep busy, because otherwise I'd be languishing by myself.
I get bored really fast.
