The second piece of news is something that I would imagine most people have heard about by now. Arrested Development got picked up for a third season.
It's not an issue per say, but I would urge people to help create an atmosphere where they don't see this complete ideological divide.
Hopefully people will be reinventing comedy forever and ever. This is just what I do, and it's a type of comedy.
I stand by everything I said. I absolutely can defend my material, and I take issue with people who say, "It's just shock value. It's not even funny." I disagree. There's different ways to be funny and to be a comedian.
I grew up in that minority. I grew up in the South, in Roswell, Georgia, and it was heavily white, Baptist, conservative. And the idea that somebody would come there and say those things that I said created an atmosphere where some people would walk out, and suddenly they weren't in the minority. For an hour and a half, they were the majority. So I would argue that it does need to be said.
I am truly passionate and concerned about the lack of empathy that people show towards one another.
I think the policies, for the most part, that [Hillary Clinton] will put in place are not going to make positive changes. There'll be more status quo. She'll certainly be good for some groups of people. Whatever.
I'm pretty happy. I obviously have complaints about things, but for the most part, I'm on the above-average side of happy people.
I think I could have a funnier, more economic sets. But that's the comedy I do. And I understand if people aren't interested in it and would rather listen to someone else. But I'll never understand the anger people have toward me.
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 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'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.
