Be relentless and then you'll break through.

I hate being mean. I watch those roasts on Comedy Central and they make the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

I think you figure out how to be funny by necessity. It's not a natural thing, being funny in the face of tragedy is kind of demented.

There was plenty of dysfunction in my family and I went to Catholic School with these psychotic nuns. I would always try to be funny to lighten the mood.

I think the obsession with wanting to change yourself is crazy over the top.

This whole generation of parents - I'm guilty of it too - does too much for their kids.

Going to Catholic school was what fueled me into comedy. The nuns were so brutal so I used to try to make my friends laugh.

I don't just want to be successful I want to have fun.

I think I knew I was funny in Elementary School. I think most funny people realize it when they're young. It tends to come out of stress or trauma - something that makes you want to be funny.

I've known lots of people that are talented and nothing happens. It's not about talent, it's relentless drive.

I think comedians have a function in society, which is to make fun of our icons.

Sometimes you just have to jump in a mud puddle because it's there. Never get so old that you forget about having fun.

Search me O God and know my heart: try me and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me.

Mediocre men work at their best men seeking excellence strive to do better.

Art hath an enemy call'd ignorance .

I’m going, and don’t you dare try to stop me.” I ran through the door, willing myself to make it downstairs before I started to cry.

Sometimes my art is just an illusion - or is it?

The best fire doesna flare up the soonest.

To me, the coolest, shiniest, sexiest, darkest, scariest thing you can be is pop.

If someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.

We are our own fates.- Our deeds are our own doomsmen.- Man's life was made not for creeds but actions.
