I don't think women are better than men, I think men are a lot worse than women.
My kids are really easy. I often worry that they're too easy to deal with. They're really nice people.
A very painful part of being a parent is having really negative feelings about your children when you love them so much.
When you're young as a comic, you don't have a lot of leverage.
Being popular with an audience is a very rickety ladder to be on.
If you're a woman and a guy's ever said anything romantic to you, he just left off the second part that would have made you sick if you could have heard it.
When two kids are being completely berserk, and they're naked and throwing food around, sometimes I just let it go because I can see a future where they're going to be dressed, and they're going to be at school. So I kind of let stuff go sometimes.
I like pressure. Pressure doesn't make me crack. It's enabling. I eat pressure, and there might be times when I get a bad feeling in my gut that this might be too much, but you feel pressure when you're not doing something, you know?
Some things I think are very conservative, or very liberal. I think when someone falls into one category for everything, I'm very suspicious. It doesn't make sense to me that you'd have the same solution to every issue.
I don't like comedy. I like funny things. I don't like comedy. Like, comedy movies are just, 'Oh Jesus.'
To me the goal of comedy is to just laugh, which is a really high hearted thing, visceral connection and reaction.
Pushing the envelope' sort of implies that you're inside the envelope with everyone else, and you're trying to find the edges on the outsides.
If I do something for my kids, I get a medal, because most fathers don't.
I've had soccer moms come up and tell me they can relate when I say that I want to throw my baby in the trash.
