Don't boo people! Don't boo! Be more specific! Like, 'WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT?! I HATE THAT! I HATE IT!'
I'm terrible at heights. I hate it. I'm glad I'm only 5'7".
I've always wanted to have a Greek sitcom called Olive Lucy.
I think those neighborhood signs that say 'slow children playing' are mean.
At what age do you think it's appropriate to tell a highway it's adopted?
Four years ago on this very day I tried to take my own life. And I said, "Zach, do it in front of your co-workers and end the misery." I don't know how many of you ever tried to jump off of a Pizza Hut, but you'll just get a sprained ankle out of the deal. Then you'll have to go back inside, and serve crazy bread.
I watch a happy person doing stand-up, and I go, "What the hell is this? This person's happy!" You need internal conflict. You need the guy to be out of step with society. It's a tool for comedy.
I dream of moving to India, or Pakistan, and becoming a cabdriver.
I like dark comedies. That's why I like the Wayans Brothers.
I'm the most mellow person offstage. I think it's just, going onstage lets me get out some frustration that I'm too shy to do in real life. Instead of doing it in private, I'd rather do it in front of 1,000 people who've paid $25 to see me lose my mind.
You write things that are of interest to you. There's no focus group.
My brother has ADD, which is weird because he drives a Ford Focus. I told my brother that joke but he didn't laugh because he got distracted by my shoe strings.
You know it's time to do the laundry when you dry off with a sneaker.
Whether you are on the Right or the Left, everyone can agree that there are a lot of outside influences in American politics that are not good for the system. There's just too much money.
