father narcissistic way
I'm not a narcissist, but I definitely have gotten enough explosive narcissistic shrapnel from my father. I'm sort of wired that way, but I don't feel that I'm pathological, so all I can pull from is my own existence and my knowledge.
funny christian mistake
He does have that weird mixture of born again Christian and stupid that some people mistake for courage and focus.
intelligent ironic united-states
Americans don't understand irony? I am an intelligent person living in the United States. My entire existence is ironic.
school fifteen firsts
I remember seeing Richard Pryor's first movie; it was a midnight movie when I was in high school. I must have been about fifteen. It was one of the most cathartic experiences of my life. I'd never laughed that much.
writing thinking evolve
I think things evolve into jokes. I don't generally write them down as jokes. I talk them out.
ongoing conversation theme
Jokes do finish themselves. I really do see them as ongoing conversations about personal themes that I ruminate on.
philosophy issues people
Whether people know the evolution of the conversation or not, I don't know, but thematically, as a comedian, I stay in the same ballpark - around my issues and my philosophy of life.
people guy political
I knew most of my radio listeners were lefty political people, and I decided definitively not to be that guy - not to address politics.
school kids people
I've always been someone who likes to talk to people. When I was a little kid, I sought out freaks and weirdos that wandered the streets by where I worked in high school. I would just bring them in and talk to them.
years important stuff
As I became very conscious and more aware of things I got very into the beatniks and that kind of stuff. They were very important to me for a few years.
ideas obscurity possibility
There's nothing more horrifying than the possibility or the idea that you will just fade away into obscurity.
funny humor mean
How complicated can ice cream flavors be? How much can you put in there? I mean, when the flavor's something like banana ice cream with caramel, fudge chunks, cheddar goldfish and pennies - you've got to draw a line there.
guy mind way
In a lot of ways, I'm seeking some sort of peace of mind for myself. I'm a fairly emotionally petty, resentful guy who has an inflated sense of himself, and I needed to take that down a notch.
writing comedy moments
Most of my comedy writing happens through improvisation on stage; doing it in the moment.
