sex said surgery
I said yes to so many things, from a sex change to gastric by-pass surgery, so it's always paid off for me.
wish answers rich
I wish everyone could experience being rich and famous, so they'd see it wasn't the answer to anything.
people trying limits
Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don't limit myself.
want kicking honest
I'm not in a recession. I'm doing very, very well. I'm doing incredibly well. I just want to be honest. I really am kicking ass.
funny fans recognition
Ever since I started to get recognition I've picked out certain fans and reverse-stalked them.
moving people guy
I never thought I was finished when people said I was finished, or any of that stuff. I always had this undying belief that even if I was in a wheelchair and I could only move my finger, somehow I would become the guy who does the amazing thing with his finger.
letting-go jobs father
My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that that was possible for him, and so he made a conservative choice. Instead, he got a safe job as an accountant. When I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job, and our family had to do whatever we could to survive. I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.
regret
Usually you regret the things you say no to.

To find real peace you have to let the armor go. Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world. Don't let anything stand in the way of the light that shines through this form. Risk being seen in all of your glory.
graduation-speech currency valuable
The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is.
jobs security-guards poverty
My family kinda hit the skids. We were experiencing poverty at that point. We all got a job, where the whole family had to work as security guards and janitors. And I just got angry.
spiritual believe routine
I have spiritual beliefs that I could literally go out and make an entire comedy routine about, and tour as some sort of spiritual guru, but it kind of goes against that [as] I actually believe the things, so I'm always kind of caught in the middle.
anniversary good-love years
A lot of good love can happen in ten years.
funny stupid parent
I got a lot of support from my parents. That's the one thing I always appreciated. They didn't tell me I was being stupid; they told me I was being funny.
