mean years culture
It amazes me that we are all on Twitter and Facebook. By "we" I mean adults. We're adults, right? But emotionally we're a culture of seven-year-olds. Have you ever had that moment when are you updating your status and you realize that every status update is just a variation on a single request: "Would someone please acknowledge me?
europe records bits
When I was a bit older I had all of the George Carlin records, all of the Steve Martin records, all of the Cheech and Chong records and all of the Richard Pryor records.
humble age littles
I've become less angry and a little more humble by age and by experience and by going through the ups and downs of life.
book self looks
I look at every book as a self-help book.
forever partners producers
I know that the podcast is typically something I can do forever, because it's mine; it's just me and my producer and business partner, so it's our business.
criticism lines bitterness
There's a fine line between cultural criticism and bitterness.
easter israel middle-east
Jerusalem Syndrome is actually a rare psychological condition that occurs to some visitors to the Middle East. They get to Israel and just snap.
school grandmother profound
I found a great deal of relief and excitement watching comics when I was very young. My grandmother was very into them and so was my grandfather. They had a profound effect on me, so I just found myself watching comedians on the after-school shows: Merv Griffin and that kind of stuff.
thinking what-if together
I think most other comics are like, "I'm going to do my fkin' act and that'll be that." With me, it's like, "What if I forget my jokes? What if I can't pull it together? This is going to be a fking disaster!"
suicide spiritual work-out
When you commit your life to something and it doesn't work out, it is a tough place to be. Suicide can be the spiritual reprieve of a faithless person. I knew I could always just end it, and there was solace in that.
thinking comforting planning
I once talked about wanting to kill myself, but I don't think I was ever really planning on doing it. It was just comforting to know that I could.
tired talking people
I sort of get tired of myself sometimes. When you're busy, your life becomes relatively small. But I never get tired of talking to other people.
thinking talking people
I think sharing experience makes everything better. When people get talking about how they've overcome something or how they haven't, it's nourishing.
radio stuff television
I have a very primitive sense that if I just turn on a radio or the television, that somebody's playing that stuff for me.
