suicide thinking grandparent
It's impossible for me to hear the words quadruple murder suicide without thinking of my grandparents.
mother brother dad
I had a happy childhood in a nice suburban area, pretty idyllic, upper middle class and very, very white. My dad is an attorney. My mother is a housewife. They had five kids in seven years: me, my brother, and three sisters. I'm the oldest. We were all very active. My mother was exhausted.
death people want
I was always fascinated by forbidden things people didn't want to talk about, like death.
uncles player roulette
Sure, my uncle killed himself playing Russian Roulette. But I choose to remember him as a great Russian Roulette player.
wind play royal-wedding
I would love to DJ the royal wedding. Just so I could play Candle in the Wind non-stop.
tv-shows firsts tvs
I feel like every first episode of a TV show is bad, you know, and it always improves.
writing people tragedy
On Twitter, when someone would die, I would write a joke. Or if there's a tragedy, I would write a joke and tweet it. That was my thing, and then at a certain point, people started demanding it.
mean talking silence
Silence means they [the audience] are paying attention. Even if I drop bombs and they're dead quiet, it's still okay. If they start talking, that's when you've lost them.
genius emulate
I loved Stephen Wright, and I loved Mitch Hedberg, but they seemed like geniuses you could never emulate. You'd just be ripping them off.
fighting love-is thinking
One of my favorite things on the show was just getting to do my own monologue and talking about someone who killed themselves, or making a joke about some horrible tragedy - I love being able to fight for and get on TV. I just think it's so different.
mom football kids
I hated my mom for not letting me play football as a kid. So when I have kids someday, I guarantee they'll never meet their grandmother.
thinking talking laughing
I think the reason I became funny was because if I made people laugh, they would let me keep talking.
writing get-better said
I would write 100 jokes a day. Most of them were terrible. But I just said, 'I'll write more than everybody else, and that's how I'll get better.'
kings christ jew
Larry King is so old, he's actually one of the Jews that killed Christ.
