I have a crazy amount of different jobs, so the way I manage that is to not do more than one at a time. It's like old computers that had small memory chips, they would do something called swapping, where they would fill the memory with one task, do it and get it out.

I've always got the road. Stand-up makes you so autonomous and self-sufficient that it really helps with that part of show business.

When I see two guys kissing, I'm like, how come I can't kiss one of those guys? They look like they're having a good time.

I remember the day I saw my hair was thinning. I don't remember caring much. I don't care. It's just hair. It never bothered me much. I was pretty young, too. And it happened and is happening very slowly. I have a feeling dead people get really mad when we complain about losing hair.
