I'm of the opinion that if you step on stage and you're not a straight white male, you're automatically making a political statement whether you know it or not.

I think a lot of people get into stand-up to be the center of attention, which is perfectly legitimate. But I think I got in there to be heard.

You might not agree with something, but it doesn't mean you don't need to listen to it. White people have to accept that they don't always know about racism.

Comedy is like expensive cheese. Well, it's like cheese, in general. Everybody likes what they like, and everything they don't like, they think is the worst.

It doesn't do any good to just be on the side of black people. The funnier comedic position is to be on the side of oppressed people in general.

I feel like you can share as many jokes as you want to because no joke you do on Twitter is ever gonna be so big on Twitter, for the most part, that you can't say it on stage that same night.

If I could email my jokes to the crowd and get the same immediate response [as during stand-up], I'd do that.

Some things just strike me as funny. The way things play out just makes me laugh sometimes. It drives my wife crazy sometimes because I'll just be laughing for no reason.

I'm a dad, and that's really important to me, and I realize now that I'm a dad that it's a major part of my identity.

I think the need to go on stage speaks to some sort of a profound psychological deficit, but something that happened when you were a kid. Or something your parents did.

Complete salvation is being able to be so intimate with God that He’s your very best friend.

Once a quarter, Amy and I go off the grid and totally disconnect. It's totally doable and it will change your life.

I have evolved to where I don't think the death penalty is effective.

Hard work and a proper frame of mind prepare you for the lucky breaks that come along -- or don't.

I'm tired of giving my best and not having it be good enough.

On this earth there is that which deserves life.

I've always been about setting goals. Then when I had a near death experience at nineteen, it made it even more important to strive to achieve certain things.

There's a reason every book, even one that isn't very serious, is shaped like a suitcase

The future never just happened. It was created.

The way to make money in the stock market is to buy a stock. Then, when it goes up, sell it. If it's not going to go up, don't buy it!
