hurt knows
The truth doesn't hurt. Whatever it is, it doesn't hurt. It's better to know the truth.
religious growing-up pain
Growing up, the two things that made my blood boil were religious intolerance and animal cruelty. I've never understood it. I can't stand to have an animal in pain.

It's going to be a night of partying and heavy drinking. Or as Charlie Sheen calls it: Breakfast.
atheist opposites strange
It’s a strange myth that atheists have nothing to live for. It’s the opposite. We have nothing to die for. We have everything to live for.

People confuse the subject of the joke with the target of the joke, and they're very rarely the same.

Popularity and democracy aren't a judge, they're just stats.

Unlike religious people, I look at all religions equally.
thinking creative soul
I think doing something creative is the most important thing to me, and I think it's probably just good for the soul for anyone, whatever it is. You don't have to be a film director - you can do gardening or something - but I think everyone needs to create something.
thinking years people
I think, as a comedian, the funniest you can be is with people you know, and [whom] you've known for years, in a pub. That's as funny as you get, and so the aim [while stand-up] is to get that funny on stage with 5,000 strangers, to get that funny in a room where people shouldn't be listening but they are.
mean offended
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.
