I think most other comics are like, 'I'm going to do my fkin' act and that'll be that.' With me, it's like, 'What if I forget my jokes? What if I can't pull it together? This is going to be a fking disaster!'

Everyone is a little bitter. We're born bitter. The personality itself is really just a very complex defense mechanism. A reaction to the first time someone said, No you can't.

I know that the podcast is typically something I can do forever, because it's mine it's just me and my producer and business partner, so it's our business.

They used to have a smoking section at most airports. No more. They now have these glass-encased rooms. You're not just a smoker, you're an example to other people. You're an exhibit at a futuristic zoo.

The way I figure it, if you can't tell I'm high by looking at me, I win.

One thing I'm grateful for, and also surprised and excited about, is that I have a place in the community of comics now. In a real way. And I honor that. A lot of what I do is in support of the community and bringing new talent - talking to people that people don't know. And defining us as a community.

Faith in the face of disappointment is only enhanced by laughter in the face of pain.

Some of you may be perfectly happy with mediocrity. Some of you will get nothing but heartbreak. Some of you will be heralded as geniuses and become huge. Of course, all of you think that one describes you...hence the delusion necessary to push on.

Maybe depression is the most reasonable response to all the crap around us. Maybe it's the happy people who need medication.

I live in Los Angeles, I know it exists. I know you're not supposed to taste air.

I knew most of my radio listeners were lefty political people, and I decided definitively not to be that guy - not to address politics.

Comics seemed to have a handle on things. They could sort of disarm and get control over reality. I found it very comforting to laugh.

We live in an age where people are like, I'd love to catch up. Maybe text me later? But don't call because I don't really listen to my messages. But if you text me... We've displaced interaction into sound bites and untethered phrases and sentences that come up on the phone as Twitter feed.

I think sharing experience makes everything better. When people get talking about how they've overcome something or how they haven't, it's nourishing.

There are a lot of things that I'm allowing myself to be, but it's a conscious effort to experience contentment for me. My brain doesn't do that naturally. I'm very overwhelmed all of the time.

It amazes me that we are all on Twitter and Facebook. By we I mean adults. We're adults, right? But emotionally we're a culture of seven-year-olds. Have you ever had that moment when are you updating your status and you realize that every status update is just a variation on a single request: Would someone please acknowledge me?

You know when you make popcorn there are always those fluffy white kernels that are fun and good to eat but there are also always those burnt, black kernels that don’t pop. You know why they don’t pop? Because they have integrity.

Jokes do finish themselves. I really do see them as ongoing conversations about personal themes that I ruminate on.
