cancer eye want
I don't like life that much. It's not that big a deal for me... I don't want to know I have cancer till it's visible to the naked eye.
perfect say-anything want
I'm in a perfect position. I don't want to be more famous and I can't lose sponsors, so I can say anything I want.
religious diagnosis want
Even your religious friends do not want to hear about God during a medical diagnosis.
believe want comedy
I believe that everyone should be treated as an individual. Women should be treated equally in the right to vote, sure. But if Im paying to see a comedy, then I just want to see whos funniest, with everyone treated equally.
leader what-if want
What if I don't want a leader? Where does that vote go? I do good on my own. I don't want to be led.
party people want
People who want to kill other people are the last people I want to party with, because I get mouthy when I drink.
athletic good musical
I had no musical or athletic ability, and I wasn't particularly good looking. Comedy was something I could do for attention.
brain comedy crafted element fact fraudulent months night rolling root though weeks
There's a fraudulent root element of comedy in that we say things night after night as though they are rolling effortlessly from the brain and off the tongue, when in fact they are crafted over weeks and months and years.
running topics towns
I love playing in the UK because there are some topics that you just can't talk about in the States without getting run out of town. So let me just say this: Louis C. K.'s new show sucks.
dying mouths tadpoles
"This is Lakshmi Singh." It's like a tadpole dying in muck. Take a drink. Wet your mouth.
littles arizona towns
When I used to drive on the road from L. A., one time in Arizona we went off-road to see what weird little towns are around. Loved Bisbee.
car house drug
There's a lot of meth [in Bisbee]. So there's an ex-cop-car Tahoe and a BE DRUG FREE van parked right in front of my house.
might tools actors
[Stand-up] might be ballsy, but I'd rather not be an actor. Actors are tools.
government drug said
If I say f*** the government, some will clap because they agree and some will clap just because you said f***. I've had countless audience members offer me free drugs but I also got free hernia surgery.
