years sweaters creating
Designers don't put out the same sweater every year. They just keep creating.
sleep years fake
I can't get married. I can't fake sleep for 30 years.
new-year night years
As a standup comedian, I've worked almost every New Year's Eve of my adult life. It's the best-paying night of the year.
years long pages
A study last year showed that the page you turn to first in the newspaper can be a predictor of how long you will live. No surprise, turning first to the Comics Pages prolongs your life.
biblical men years
My ancestors wandered lost in the wilderness for forty years because even in biblical times, men would not stop to ask for directions.
animal average years
Many animal rescue organizations hit with a hard-core, heartbreaking message. Their videos and stories can become difficult for average people to watch. By taking a more positive, heartwarming approach to animal rescue, I've been able to engage people and keep them engaged for years. Instead of selling the agony and misery - and sadly, there is no shortage of that - I start with the happy endings. I work backwards so the first message they get is joy and success due to their involvement. Opening the mind with humor and joy gets the rescue message in that much deeper.
basketball years games
I pray if I ever find out I have only about three minutes to live it's during a basketball game, because then I'll have, what, 10, 12 years to live?
rebound
My breakup with AT&T is final, and I'm done with Skype as the rebound guy.
basically beliefs believe chance great held people realize step stuff
I like to go after the foibles, basically of beliefs that are held without question. If people still want to believe in their stuff after that, that's great - as long as they just have a chance to step back and look at it for a second. Sometimes, you don't even realize what you've been thinking for 20 years.
face food meet people rarely
We have wild animals in zoos, yet people rarely meet their 'food' face to face.
wall moving caring
I love being down at Occupy Wall Street. The sincerity, the youth involvement, the desire for better, is palpable and moving. There is true caring, sharing, and refreshingly naive hope.
heartache legs knees
The thing about breaking up when you get older, you just don't have the steam anymore. "Oh, that's it. I can't start shaving my legs above the knee again."
thinking people get-away
I deliver very traditionally, and people aren't threatened. I think if I cursed or seemed wilder, I couldn't get away with the amount of very opinionated politics I get away with.
movie home writing
Stand-up is like a movie every night. You write it, direct it, produce it, the audience votes, and you go home. There's nothing more satisfying.
