long ugly gorgeous
Lot of ugly funny dudes end up with some pretty gorgeous women. Women are much deeper than us in choosing a mate - they see in the long term.
long-ago evil humanity
We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.
mean long comedian
I mean, all alternative comedy is are comedians that have being doing it for so long, for so long, that they were relaxed enough to start becoming personal on stage.
passion long situation
You can be an amateur and have a passion for something, but it takes a long time to actually become a professional, meaning that you can handle any situation.
long laughing silence
As you get older, as a comedian, and keep doing it, what you actually start to cherish on stage is not the build-up to the jokes, but how comfortable you can be in the silence and the non-laughing parts, and how long you can take the audience without a laugh to then get a huge reaction.
cool esoteric hour move onstage process until
I wish I had a really cool, esoteric answer, but what the process is to me is going onstage night after night after night after night until I get a new hour. And then once that hour is solidified and recorded, I move on.
audience cherish comedian huge older stage
As you get older as a comedian and keep doing it, what you actually start to cherish on stage is not the build-up to the jokes, but how comfortable you can be in the silence and the non-laughing parts, and how long you can take the audience without a laugh to then get a huge reaction.
american-comedian dad jonathan listening memories
Well, my dad had a lot of Jonathan Winters albums, so those were my first memories of listening to anything funny, and those were very influential.
atheists bad both except offending people religion seems starting struggling
Like, my feelings on religion are starting to morph. I'm still very much an atheist, except that I don't necessarily see religion as being a bad thing. So, that's a weird thing that I'm struggling with that seems to be offending both atheists and people that are religious.
reaction
I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, 'Well, I've had it with humanity.' But I was wrong.
writing mind comedian
In my mind, I was always a comedian who was going to branch into writing.
strong war mean
Wars are usually really popular with people that aren't gonna be affected by them. 'Cause it's just entertainment, and it's just weird, like, 'Well, we've got to show the world that we're strong.' No we don't. And by the way, that has nothing to do with you. Why are you equating yourself with that... you know what I mean?
kings couple believe
The apocalypse is coming, that's the one thing I like about George Bush, I really think he can get us into the ... apocalypse, like the BIBLICAL ... I really think he believes that he'll be the guy in the white hat. I think he's read the Stephen King novel The Stand a couple times, and he really thinks there's a dark man in the desert somewhere and he's gonna fight him or something.
Stand-up is something I just truly love to do, so I'll always go back to it. I'll never stop doing it, that's for sure.
