I'd like to think that I'm not just making the point that I'm an atheist over and over, but that I explore different facets of religion. There's no way of bringing up religion without sounding like an asshole.
If people disagree with me and want to articulate it, that's not only their right but almost their obligation.
It's easy to see that two people might come up with that same idea.
I also try to think of ways to articulate the joke more economically.
I was heavily influenced by Andy Kaufman and Steven Wright.
I think I'd be a really good dad. So perhaps I'm doing society a disservice by not having as many kids as possible.
I have no hesitation doing children's movies. Zero. And I don't even have kids.
I hate bumper stickers, you can't sum anything up. All you do is paint yourself in some caricaturist corner.
I lived in LA for almost nine years and if I never went back there again it would be fine.
I think people, for the most part, actually want what they think is best.
I went to a bunch of marches in New York and Washington, and you know I believe in the cause, but to march with those people takes a lot of compromise on my end.
I was in Antwerp - which, I had about 20 shows left at that point - and a guy said, "That's Dave Attell's." Also, Antwerp was my smallest audience, so the guy was right there. I was like, "What?" He said, "Dave Attell does a bit about, 'Why are there luggage stores in the airport?'" I had never seen that, and I would never ever, ever, ever - please believe me - I would never lift material from somebody ever, and certainly not knowingly.
I'd be curious to find out, but I don't think people in the entertainment industry are proportionally more or less serious politically than anyone in the landscaping industry.
Besides if people really want to support the troops they would vote democrat.
