Quote

I think sadness and anger are really fertile ground for comedy. No one is really interested in a happy person doing comedy.

I dream of starting a three-man country trio called the Chixie Dicks.

There's more to life than being an actor in a Hollywood movie. I'm not going to adapt my life after that existence, where a lot of people do. And they get the publicist, and they get all that stuff, and it becomes them. I think it's a stupid way to live your life. A really dumb way to live your life.

People are trying to prove things. And I probably have that. I probably do. Probably guilty of it, in a way.

Image
I don't really have a pattern yet. I don't know if I'll develop one. As far as comedic integrity, I don't have integrity in general, comedic or otherwise.

Image
I don't like cursing in movies. I feel like cursing has become the new hackiness. You try to find substitutions for cursing.

You write things that are of interest to you. There's no focus group.

You know how some people have gay-dar? I have fat-dar. I can automatically tell if you're fat or not. And I also have cerebral-palsy-dar.

I'm writing a book about Siamese Twins that are attached at the nose. It's called: Stop Staring at Me!

Do you ever do something, and then think to yourself: That's So Raven?

I'm proud of The Hangover, but to be in movies like this, which are really the only places I can get work, it's really quite the opposite of what I am. I like sensitive art-house movies. I'm not even much of a partier. I mean, I'll drink myself into oblivion alone in my car.

I'm the most mellow person offstage. I think it's just, going onstage lets me get out some frustration that I'm too shy to do in real life. Instead of doing it in private, I'd rather do it in front of 1,000 people who've paid $25 to see me lose my mind.

I'm not versed enough in constitutional law to run for office. I'd have to go back to school or something.

Whether you are on the Right or the Left, everyone can agree that there are a lot of outside influences in American politics that are not good for the system. There's just too much money.

I'm not cynical when it comes to things that are important. I'm cynical about pop culture and all that horseshit.

I get burned out on standup. But I like acting. I do like it. But sometimes you just feel like a monkey. You just feel like a complete tool. But I like it. I do like it. Stand-up is just more free. A lot more freedom because you just do what you want to do.

I watch a happy person doing stand-up, and I go, What the hell is this? This person's happy! You need internal conflict. You need the guy to be out of step with society. It's a tool for comedy.

I don't want my personal life to change. I don't understand why people strive for fame. I know it's ironic for me to be saying this, but this will be the last one I do.

It's not good for comedy to be like, 'Thanks for liking me'. Being popular is poison.

You save 15 more minutes of sleep if you are a man and you don't have to shave.
