I'm a comedian, and I decided I wanted to be a comedian when I was eight years old watching old Saturday Night Live episodes. I never decided to be a rapper because I'm not a rapper.

I like things that are immature and offbeat and bizarre. Random jokes. Weird stuff. And stupid. Stupid is the highest compliment a person can pay to me.

If had a penny for every strange look I've gotten from strangers on the street I'd have about 10 to 15 dollars, which is a lot when you're dealing with pennies.

It's just cool to be involved in something that's that big and joyous and meant to make people feel happy.

I'm a tearless clown. If I were to get a tattoo, it would be the two masks, and they would be both smiling.

I didn't realize how much people liked to bash SNL until I was on. I've always just liked it, and I've always watched it and been into it.

I do a lot of laughing at my own self in life, so I think I come at things with a pretty easygoing view.

If I was any more on edge, I'd be Bono.

As long as I get to be doing what I love, which is making comedy and that kind of thing, I feel lucky that I get to.

People will tell me, "Oh, my kid watches your show on their iPad, over and over again until they memorize." And I'm like, "Wow, I was that kid watching other shows. That's the coolest!"

No matter how much it's growing, the Internet still is a pretty specific demographic. It doesn't necessarily represent the general populace.

In times of trouble leniency becomes crime.

I can encourage my daughter to love her body, but what really matters are the observations she makes about my relationship with my own body.

Suffering raises up those souls that are truly great; it is only small souls that are made mean-spirited by it.

Time is about the need to control. Let go of control and embrace what happens.

But the one thing you should. not do is to suppose that when something is wrong with the arts, it is wrong with the arts ONLY.

Reading is a creative activity. You have to visualize the characters, you have to hear what the voices sound like.

I knew where I wanted to go, what kind of player I wanted to become and I focused on getting there.

God builds his temple in the heart on the ruins of churches and religions.

Women anchor me. They're there when I need them. They're sensitive to me, and I'm sensitive to them. I'm not saying I've loved that many women.

In a way, I think religion is to be admired for asking the right questions. I just think it's got the wrong answers.
