hate thinking people
What do I care if someone doesn't like me. If I like someone other people hate, it makes me feel special. I think my fans feel that way.
thinking comedian seeing
I like seeing what the comedian thinks is funny, not just what they think I'll think is funny.
country thinking fans
I don't think Metallica sits around all day wondering why country music fans don't embrace them.
thinking trying albums
I try to retire jokes as soon as I can once I put them on an album. But I can't think of anything I just stopped doing for no reason.
suicide thinking grandparent
It's impossible for me to hear the words quadruple murder suicide without thinking of my grandparents.
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.
thinking talking laughing
I think the reason I became funny was because if I made people laugh, they would let me keep talking.
nice thinking people
People are surprised that I'm nice and it helps me out a little bit; it's easy to be nice when everyone thinks you're going to be a jerk but if people think you're a nice guy then it's tough because it's what they expect.
thinking people trying
I don't think people shouldn't try to be edgy, but you have to take what the audience says to you in consideration.
thinking darkness littles
On the show, you have to be more charismatic, a little smoother, but I think I can still be that prince of darkness. You just have to learn the tricks of the TV trade as well.
football thinking people
I think some people just don't know that much about comedy. It would be like a person who didn't know anything about football thinking all offensive linemen are the same.
thinking people racism
Racist dermatologists think all black people have really bad skin.
crazy thinking comedy
I never go see live comedy shows because I just sit in the audience thinking, "Here's what I would say. Here's what I would do if I got up there." It drives me crazy.
dark thinking artist
You can't expect everyone to laugh or applaud you for doing edgy things. Sometimes you'll miss. But I think comedians are artists and there's a value in failure. It kind of works both ways between comedians and audiences. The audience has to understand that comedians are going to sometimes tell a joke that doesn't work out with dark subjects, and the comedian has to understand that sometimes they 'll fail and it's not the audience's fault for not getting it or loving it.
