I rarely sit down to write something. I usually have an experience and relate it to somebody and go, 'There I connected some dots,' you know? That's what makes people laugh. And then you go and take it on the stage, and sometimes it works, and sometimes people go, 'What's he talking about?' I don't know; I thought it was it funny in the kitchen.
I saw Aerosmith, and I was like, 'Wow, you can dress like a girl and still get girls? Hand me a scarf!'
I do think that you can dress yourself out of a problem. The way that a haircut and a new pair of pants can make you feel is better than any therapist, because when you look in the mirror, you see a different person - you are a different person. It's superficial change that can lead to real change.
I don't know if you know you're funny, but you enjoy being funny. I know I'm funny because people tell me I am, but when I watch myself, it doesn't make me laugh. Does that make sense? Because I know the jokes, and to me, I feel like I'm pulling the wool over people's eyes. And there are probably people who do not enjoy what I do.
I think probably - I think, you know, when you're first dating somebody, if they're just not that physical with you, if they don't want to make concrete plans with you, you know, if they're sort of ambiguous about where everything is going, I think that's a pretty good sign that they're not into you.
I'm fascinated with human relationships, ... I advocate the relationship you have with yourself.
Can you deep fry the bacon? Oh how I wish you would...
My wife's beautiful. That's why I married her. Because I want to see her every day.
I don't have to edit myself. I get to be me, warts and all, and that's ultimately what people want, and to trust each other implicitly.
So, I play in a band. It's a really underground band. Super underground. Very underground. Like, we don't even actually play.
I'm certain prison is pretty rough as it is but imagine if you were a murderer and a foodie!
People say get a job doing something you love. So far no one has offered to hire me to eat Whoppers with a switchblade.
People don't admire you for what you hate, they admire you for what you do about it, and your slacks.
Good enough to tweet, not to say.
