I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it__ like to feel absolutely worthless and they don__ want anyone else to feel like that.

I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It__ not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.

I used to think the worst thing in life is to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.

See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.

I write on big yellow legal pads - ideas in outline form when I'm doing stand-up and stuff. It's vivid that way. I can't type it into an iPad - I think that would put a filter into the process.

For me, comedy starts as a spew, a kind of explosion, and then you sculpt it from there, if at all. It comes out of a deeper, darker side. Maybe it comes from anger, because I'm outraged by cruel absurdities, the hypocrisy that exists everywhere, even within yourself, where it's hardest to see.

I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.

My style is bad white-boy dancing. I can do swing a little bit, but nothing beyond that. My solo dancing is sad. I use my arms, badly.

Do I perform sometimes in a manic style? Yes. Am I manic all the time? No. Do I get sad? Oh yeah. Does it hit me hard? Oh yeah.

People say satire is dead. It's not dead it's alive and living in the White House.

You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it.

When Jonathan Winters died, it was like, 'Oh, man!' I knew he was frail, but I always thought he was going to last longer. I knew him as being really funny, but at the same time, he had a dark side.

If it's the Psychic Network why do they need a phone number?

I basically started performing for my mother, going, 'Love me!' What drives you to perform is the need for that primal connection. When I was little, my mother was funny with me, and I started to be charming and funny for her, and I learned that by being entertaining, you make a connection with another person.

I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you.

Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves?

If Heaven exists, to know that there's laughter, that would be a great thing.

Canada is like a loft apartment over a really great party.
