thinking self differences
I think the difference between being miserable and finding happiness is just a matter of perspective. If you live your life defining yourself by what other people think of you, it's a form of self-torture.
feel-better people groups
When you’re a bed wetter there’s only one group of people you can feel better than, bed shitters, and unfortunately they’re hard to come by.
strong people want
The worst thing that can happen for people who don't want women to be strong is that we help each other and become a force.
sarcastic i-like-you thinking
It's funny how people will think I'm being sarcastic a lot and joking. So I'll say, "I like your dress," and they'll go "(bleep) you!" Or I say something serious and they go, "Oh, yeah, ha-ha." They're strangers. They're people who know me from comedy, but luckily I am on pretty much all the time!
there-is-no-god
[I'm] almost positive there is no God.
home night men
My stepfather, John O'Hara, was the goodest man there was. He was not a man of many words, but of carefully chosen ones. He was the one parent who didn't try to fix me. One night I sat on his lap in his chair by the woodstove, sobbing. He just held me quietly and then asked only, "What does it feel like?" It was the first time I was prompted to articulate it. I thought about it, then said, "I feel homesick." That still feels like the most accurate description - I felt homesick, but I was home.
jobs people
I don't like people whose job it isn't to be funny, to tell me what is and isn't funny.
comedy truth-is
The truth is, I've denied it for years, but I love deconstructing comedy.
forget almost-there
Don’t forget, God can see you masturbating. But don’t stop. He’s almost there.
quality quality-of-life deserve
We deserve quality lives with equality.
art dad school
And then before going back for my sophomore year, I decided to change my major to arts and sciences, and my dad cut a deal with me: He said if I'd quit school he'd pay my rent for the next three years, as if I were in school.
mean audience
It's just hard to say, "Well, I do this, which means this." If I'm telling you exactly who I am, then there's nothing for the audience to say.
thinking games fairs
I really think everything is fair game.
bulls mess shops
A bull in just about any shop is gonna be a mess.
