I don't like calling myself a feminist only because I don't think I've done anything active enough to call myself one. It'd be like calling myself a civil rights activist just because I'm not racist.

And if ten percent of men are gay and twenty percent of men are Chinese, what are the odds that a men chosen at random spends his free time and mealtime while on his knees.

Squaring numbers are just like women. If they're under thirteen, just do them in your head.

I'm friends with a lot of comedians, but we don't talk about material. Most comedians I know don't watch a lot of other comedy.

Drugs kill, just like cancer. So don't smoke... tumors.

For some comedians it feels so cool to be like: 'I'll say anything, man!'. I'm not quite there yet.
