I started to take myself very seriously in terms of heart disease.
My mother had a heart attack when she was about 50. My uncle died of a heart attack at 58. Both of my grandparents on my mother's side died of heart attacks around 60.
I love a Dustbuster. You go around, pick up little crumbs, and everything is nice again.
You reach a point when you say to yourself, 'Do I want to keep doing this?' There are other things on my plate I want to do - I've been writing a play; I've been neglecting my standup.
Well you know how some people have cancer in their family and some have heart disease. My family was basically heart disease,
He is so different from his persona, not angry at all,
I think that comedy is a good defense for a child. Because you know childhood is a nightmare as it is. And so why not use comedy and being funny as a defense to get through your life as opposed to drugs, alcohol and good looks? Because those things are dangerous when your young.
I feel bad for young people. The 20s are a nightmare also. The 20s are hard to do.
I feel like when being raised in New York City I have a particular perspective on things like Gay issues maybe, because I'm in the middle of Manhattan.
You know, I'm a comedian the same as Bill Maher and Jon Stewart. We all came up the same way. The three of us have interest in politics; I call us fundits, we're fundits! We're not pundits!
You can see a lot of politics on a lot of different channels. I'm not interested, really, in talking in some wonky conversation about politics, though. It's not my speed. I'm not interested in the ins and outs of health care.
What daughter thinks of her parents in flagrante delicto? Yet, my mother, even after years with him, dropped hints such as, 'You know, your father enjoys his matinees.' I never even saw them go to the movies together. What could she mean? All those afternoons, I thought she was upstairs listening to La Traviata, and those high notes apparently were not coming from the radio.
Monogamy is monotonous, but it's safe you know. And that's my philosophy. And I like to convey that to people.
I don't know what it's going to take for people to really wake up and understand that they [the Bush administration] are liars and they are murderers.
