I just like testing myself. I just have that thing in me. Whatever it is that people tell me I can't do, I've gotta try it.

Many comedians - both male and female - do have an "I will never date another comedian" rule.

The best advice I've gotten in terms of that was someone who said, "People will surprise you if you let them."

I think you can make good things happen if you look for them. Life is a very positive thing.

I'm just trying to do my part before I get hit by a bus.

Outside of performing, (a comedian) is someone who is analyzing life, thinking about it and trying to be observing so much. In my opinion, it can make you feel on the outside looking in.

The whole romanticized sad clown thing, we have to get rid of that. That has to go. That's just getting sick people to voluntarily stay sicker and sadder than they have to be.

If people tell me something is impossible, I just want to prove that. I want to know that that's for certain. I don't want to not do something because someone says I can't.

Mania is fun. I won't lie, it's fun. But it's usually followed by a soul-crushing depression.

Suicide - when I think of it, to me it means someone had a lot of problems and they couldn't fight through them anymore. That's not cowardly. It's sad and nothing but.

If you are a New York comedian who knows how to improvise and has glasses, you're going to start getting commercials.

Can all this just be an accident? Or could there be some alien intelligence behind it?

I write for the people I grew up with. I took extreme pains for my book to not be a native informant. Not: 'This is Dominican food. This is a Spanish word.' I trust my readers, even non-Spanish ones.

You might be a rock and roll addict prancing on the stage. You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage.

The depth of revival will be determined exactly by the depth of the spirit of repentance.

Where your attention goes, you go.

If we will measure other people's corn in our own bushel, let us first take it to the Divine standard, and have it sealed.

I try to make my heart beat out of my chest, hard-core, once a day for at least a half hour. I think that's very important.

It's always tea-time.

It is indeed a million times better to appear untrue before the world than to be untrue to ourselves.

We all have the seeds of love in us.We can develop this wonderful source of energy, nurturing the unconditional love that does not expect anything in return.
