Everybody is different. Some comedy is more musical like Steven Wright. His is a pillar of comedy to me. He invented a whole form and all his jokes are poems. So it's different. I wanted to do it like George Carlin. Now I do it like me.

I was in a hotel room in Dallas, and I was jerking off so much and so sadly and pathetically, that the phone rang, and I thought it's them, they're complaining. ... Sir, could you please stop?

My show is sort of a short-film anthology, and I'm able to tell little stories that don't necessarily carry a whole episode in terms of narrative. I like the audience not being sure what they're getting. I think it's more fun to watch something when you're discovering it as you go along.

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.

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.

I was a nerd growing up, and I'm a little antisocial and awkward.

I don't have a room full of writers pitching ideas. It's just me out of my head.

I'm bored' is a useless thing to say. You live in a great, big, vast world that you've seen none percent of.

If you can survive disappointment, nothing can beat you

You're a tourist in sexual perversion. I'm a prisoner there.

Breaking records is not something you expect to be doing. That's like a sports thing, it's not usually a comedy and writing thing.

A household name is like ketchup. Everybody wants ketchup. Ketchup doesn't hurt anybody.

Anytime you see a bit where some stranger does something to me, it's me.

You have to do a show as honestly as you can. But you also can't afford skepticism, because it's preparing for failure, which is useless.
