There was a long time where I was an 'artist' in quotes, who had no money. But I guess back then I also never had a girlfriend.
My girlfriend looks a little like Charlize Theron...and a lot like Patrick Ewing.
We all know how funny Morrissey is. Actually, you know what? I say that sarcastically. His songs are some of the funniest songs I've ever heard in my life. I mean, really. I mean, not that the 'Girlfriend in a Coma' is, like, really funny.
My girlfriend and I went to a dinner party the other night and we ended up playing charades. There was another couple there that was deaf. They were so good.
Privacy is big for me. To do interviews even, I have a very love/hate with it.
Hollywood's built on insecurity. People are trying to prove things. And I probably have that. I probably do. Probably guilty of it, in a way.
That show, 'The Amazing Race' - is that about white people?
The congressmen and senators used to go have a drink in D.C. They would disagree all day long, but they would find that time to sit down and learn about each other personally. I think that's totally wiped out; I don't think it really exists anymore.
I don't want my personal life to change. I don't understand why people strive for [fame]. I know it's ironic for me to be saying this, but this will be the last one I do.
I just could just shave my beard, and nobody would recognize me. Although I look like Jodie Foster.
I'm not cynical when it comes to things that are important. I'm cynical about pop culture and all that horseshit.
I have never been much of a groomer. I take baths a lot, but I don't wear deodorant. I don't have to. I have a miraculous body scent. I've had women smell me and say that should be bottled. I would advise guys to lay off the Drakkar, because the cavemen weren't wearing it. They might have been putting mint leaves on their balls, but [your scent] is grown naturally. I have really good dating advice.
When you're doing standup you're kind of doing, 'Hey. I thought of this. This may be funny.'
I love playing a curmudgeon. I just love playing a sour guy.
