It's the worst feeling when you come home alone late at night and think the stranger sitting on your couch is a pile of clothes.
I don't get any anxiety. I don't because of two reasons. Number one, just breaking through it as a kid and finally getting past it was like okay, nothing's ever going to feel that scary again as that deafening silence of a joke not working. Any joke not working is not as bad as not being able to even try and get on stage.
The problem with dating a model is they won't go out with you if your cars color doesn't match their outfit.
Drive, ego and cocksureness are all essential elements in terms of getting exactly what you want but losing everything you've got.
Sometimes the only solution is figuring out a bigger problem to focus on.
If a kid is really interested in wanting to have a career in aviation, he's actually learning and getting some of the [basics], not even just fringe. There are things in here that movie [Planes] about like the pulp of an engine, and it's the actual engine, the actual parts and pieces. So I felt like I got schooled as well. I learned a lot just being in there and doing that.
True love is when you're cheating on a person but the thought of them still makes your eyes smile!
If you lie to a person at least tell someone else you've lied to the truth. It balances out your karma.
I'm in a new club, by the way. And I don't know if you're first timers like I am, but I'm in the 'I Just Dropped My Cell Phone In My Own Piss' Club. Have you done that? Yeah, good times. I'm on the phone and I forget that I'm using shoulder technique. Urinals were taken so I went in to use the regular john. And as I'm standing there, mid-conversation, I'm like 'Are you serious?' and it just started to toboggan right down my powerful chest.
I want to be able to challenge myself. And do things that are away from what I usually do. Stand-up is safe for me. I can do stand-up in front of twenty-five thousand people, and I'm like, "I know how to do this. This is what I do." I want to be a little scared.
My favorite sexual position is when the girl is facing Mecca and I am fighting off a wolf.
I can't watch a woman play with herself - to me, it looks like a DJ working the turntables... DJ Diddles.
Sometimes, like we all do, I look at myself in the mirror. Sometimes I cry. Like a really hard cry like you just watch yourself cry but then you're done and you're just glowing and you're staring at yourself.
The whole thing with comedy is that you are always in control. Writer, director, actor, producer, and sometimes bouncer. And you are just a piece of their puzzle.
