people punches safe society space
People need to feel like they're not being attacked, like they're in a safe space where no punches are being pulled.
people thoughts
And I like that people sometimes get more out of it - if it instigates thoughts about race, or sex, or something.
people offensive materials
I learned pretty early is I never defend my material; it's for other people to if someone is offended. It's so subjective, and if you don't find it funny, it's definitely going to be offensive.
real thinking people
Some things are just for private. It's like people thinking I'm cold or this or that. It's unfortunate, but I don't need strangers to know that I'm warm. I don't need strangers to know the real me.
cutting people topics
People can't help what topics cut them deep. It all depends on who's inferring - and what the contexts of their lives are at the time.
hard-work rocks people
Like I said about Seinfeld and Chris Rock, they're a great combination of brilliance and hard work. [But] there are people who are brilliant and don't work hard, and there are people who are brilliant and sabotage themselves
smart people want
I don't want to be a facilitator for other funny people. It doesn't seem smart for me to be in a comedy and not be funny. My spirit can't take it.
stupid people jokes
It's really stupid to defend your own jokes. That is for other people to do if they choose to.
people laughing want
You want to make people laugh and by virtue of that please them, but when you're instructed to make people laugh and please them, you're too resentful to do it.
sexy people world
I feel so confident and awesome and sexy when I'm with people who are older than me, and I've always been surrounded by people who are older than me. But to be vital in comedy, you have to exist in a world that's dominated by young people.
jesus kids people
I didn't feel so different until maybe, like, around third grade. Kids started blaming me for my people killing Jesus.
people jew
Jews are the most liberal, scrappy, civil-rightsy people there are.
funny pain people
Look at the people who are kind of the funniest cultures, they're the cultures of the people who have been the most oppressed, black people and Jews. Not that they're the only funny people, but culturally, it comes from the pain, you know?
fun people brain
I dress normal because I want people to treat me regular. And their brains explode. It's really fun.
