There were a handful of shows that were just painful. Not many, but things where I just said going into it, Why am I here? What am I doing?

I don't want to do 20 minutes on Donald Trump. I want to do 10 minutes and move on. I wouldn't even do that with a live show, because I don't want it to feel like An Evening Of Political Comedy.

I think pornography is the only art form where you can be videotaped on a shaky handy cam sucking off a horse and be considered a star.

There's the disingenuous duplicitousness, but you can apply that to every politician, really.

I'd like to think that I'm not just making the point that I'm an atheist over and over, but that I explore different facets of religion. There's no way of bringing up religion without sounding like an asshole.
David Cross

I'm very vocal about my belief that all religion is garbage. Most of my friends are religious or at least spiritual. These are people I like and I know are intelligent. It's this thing that I carry around. I know I'd be a better person if I was fairer, but it's at the core of who I am and what I believe.

I think I could have a funnier, more economic sets. But that's the comedy I do. And I understand if people aren't interested in it and would rather listen to someone else. But I'll never understand the anger people have toward me.
David Cross
Image
Hopefully people are upset for the reason I want them to be upset. Even when I was doing open mics, I've always had people upset. I've never been the consummate crowd-pleaser.

I went to a bunch of marches in New York and Washington, and you know I believe in the cause, but to march with those people takes a lot of compromise on my end.

You can't just yell jokes at people.

You cannot win a War on Terrorism. It's like having a war on jealousy.

Hopefully people will be reinventing comedy forever and ever. This is just what I do, and it's a type of comedy.

And it's one more shitty thing to write about somebody, in between getting really, really, really upset at female Ghostbusters and Gamergate, and the things that really matter.

I've had plenty of negative reviews. I have my entire life.

It probably does make it more difficult to enjoy a good laugh at someone who's onstage, seemingly yelling at you. But I'm not yelling at the audience, I'm yelling at the world. It genuinely sucks if people are taking it that way. But I'm not talking to individuals.

I don't think of my opponents in the sense that I don't think of them consciously, I don't steer it one way or the other.
