I want to be the greatest actor that ever lived, frankly. I'd love that. But I don't need to be. I just want to be here. That's it.

You are the vanguard of knowledge and consciousness a new wave in a vast ocean of possibilities.

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.

If I had never ventured beyond being a stand-up comic, then I would be sitting in my house today working on my Leonardo DiCaprio impression.

I'm a hard guy to live with. I'm like a caged animal. I'm up all night walking around the living room. It's hard for me to come down from what I do.
