One of the interesting things about comedy is it's tension release, and nothing creates tension faster than anger.

You realize that for all the shenanigans that go on in the big circus of politics, everybody wakes up and goes to work.

When I'm funny is when I'm angriest.

I like my friends because they make me feel normal, even though I'm not.

I get an idea about something. I just start thinking about it, and then I get onstage and I talk about it, and then I think about it some more and talk about it some more, and think about it some more and talk about it some more, until it starts to take a shape.

Stand-up is the only thing in which you actually write it, act it and direct it simultaneously, so it's actually a great theater exercise.
