I can feel myself dying inside.
I grew up with the religion of 'Star Wars,' frankly. That's when I realized there is something bigger out there... and it's called The Force.
Once you have kids, you think like a parent. You get a lot more protective.
You don't need missionaries in Colorado; you got Colorado.
There is nothing we can't do. So it's just the fact that we're doing topics like that that other people, especially network TV, won't touch, that we're satirists.
Sometimes what's right isn't as important as what's profitable.
I bought a house for my mom, I bought a house for my dad, I bought a house for my sister.
I was always a very happy, optimistic person.
