The fine line that you do when you do political comedy is, as long as you have that laugh, you're fine.
I've got stuff about airline mergers, which just shows that my stand-up is getting more insane by the minute.
Let me be serious: divorce is a sacred institution between a man and a woman who hate each other. God wanted Adam to pay alimony to Eve, not Steve.
Usually I'm too tired to apologize.
You got to be just stupid to not be focused on alternative energy.
I don't need politicians doing a 24-hour prayer with Oral Roberts to get our country back on track.
You've got to be stupid to heckle me - I am very equipped to win.
I don't understand how anybody's still a Democrat or a Republican. I don't know what they're basing it on.
The Democrats have responded to the Republicans' lack of dealing with reality by truly not dealing with reality, either.
You realize that for all the shenanigans that go on in the big circus of politics, everybody wakes up and goes to work.
The core of the American public, their hearts and their minds are in the right place. And that gives me hope.
My problem has always been with authority, and I'm sure if anybody understands that, it's people in uniform.
My touring has never stopped; from the time I started doing stand-up, I've been on the road.
Nobody in college races home and says, 'I can't wait to see the news! I can't wait to see who CBS is going to hire!'
