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.
I just try to keep myself a traditionalist. I liked being an underground comic doing my thing. I want to maintain that. I just do.
I don't like cursing in movies. I feel like cursing has become the new hackiness. You try to find substitutions for cursing.
People are trying to prove things. And I probably have that. I probably do. Probably guilty of it, in a way.
I try to write three jokes every day. I don't sit down and write them, it's just things that pop into my head. Then I'll go watch it fail onstage that night.
I think comedy is a really, really good tool for trying to say something.
Privacy is big for me. To do interviews even, I have a very love/hate with it.
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.'
