believe i-believe should
I believe, firmly, that women are always right. Ah, I should actually rephrase that: I... don't.
strong struggle thinking
The biggest danger, for me, with making yourself your act is that a lot of people with think they know you for better or worse. That's an ongoing struggle with me and it can get really trippy sometimes. I try to be strong about it and assure myself that only my close friends and family can really pass judgement on me personally, but it's impossible to not let it get to you.
meaningful character needs
My persona is most importantly just to communicate the material in a way that is most funny and meaningful in the moment. It's more like a character that's sculpted for whatever joke needs communicating at the moment.
bible jesus kindness
Do unto others as you would have them do to you, said the rapist.
writing thinking ideas
When things [writing] are over, I always think, 'well, I'm never going to do anything again because I have no ideas so I'm going to go be a farmer'. Or else ideas will come and and if not then I become a farmer. Hopefully won't happen.
philosophy school math
I thought I wanted to be a physicist in high school until I learned that there was much more math than philosophy in it. I assumed I would just sit around all day and think.
funny dirty humor
All you god damn dirty Catholics can cath-o-lick my balls.
people lovely trying
My work is trying to at least define myself on my own terms, and then if other people enjoy things that's a lovely addition.
rap dark thinking
I've found, across the board, that comedians have been very respectful and kind to me. And that seems to stem from the fact that they are just respectful and kind people in general. Comedians get a bad rap for being dark and anti-social I think.
purpose strange comedy
Comedy is very strange to me and I don't fully understand it's purpose or function.
math musical-ability people
I have a pretty good math mind, so I can see patterns, but I don't have a great ear. It's like a tragedy - I can see so much more natural musical ability in so many other people.
comforter
When life gets you down, make a comforter!
thinking want speak
I work really hard on the shows and I think the shows speak for themselves. I don't want to construct the show to prove something.
college comedy going-to-college
I chose to do comedy instead of going to college.
