Excuse me, officer, but would you mind bringing the wreckage a little closer this way? My wife can't see
To me, authority is something that a freer spirit, a more independent mind, and a person who can handle the world, doesn't need guidance from.
Most of the note-taking happens while I'm watching television. It's a broad window on the world, and a lot of things are already established in my mind as things I say, things that I'm interested in, things that are fodder for my [stand-up] machine. And when I see something that relates to one of them, I know it instantly and if it's a further exaggeration and a further addition, or an exception - if it plays into furthering my purpose, I jot it down.
I became a guy who wanted to be a comedian someday, or a comic actor. The way I put it was, I'll be like Danny Kaye. He was kind of the model I had in mind.
A crazy person doesn't really lose his mind. It just becomes something more entertaining.
Have you ever started a path? No one seems willing to do this. We don't mind using existing paths, but we rarely start new ones. Do it today. Start a path. Even if it doesn't lead anywhere
There are a lot of little things about our bodies that we all know, but we never talk about. That's what interests me. These are practically universal experiences; nobody mentions them! Some of them are disgusting. Some of them are appallingly revolting and degrading even to the most degenerate mind. So let's get started with a couple of them.

If I ever lose my mind I hope some honest person will find it and take it to Lost and Found.
Religion is just mind control.
Language is a tool for concealing the truth. If we could read each other's minds, this would be a horror show.
When I'm not actually doing my work, I'm planning it or thinking about it or reading things that on some level are transformed into performance fantasies. I have no active interests. I never go anywhere or do anything that transports me outside the boundaries of my mind.
I've never had a 10, but one night I had five twos
The word bipartisan means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out
