My birthday is in August - right before September, so I have that "back to school" feeling ingrained in me so that time of year is when I usually do personal goals or resolutions.

I finally understand that it’s okay to be a little afraid of things but that obsessing over them does not mean you have any more control over what you fear.

People said to me, "You know, when you record a special, you're going to regret it. The one thing you'll regret because you're a comic is you'll think of better tags."

I am a fading phantasmagoria. Time has left me in partial glory.

Work is most fulfilling when you're at the comfortable, exciting edge of not quite knowing what you are doing.

I think we're giving people something new that people didn't know was out there before.

To all those Bernie Sanders voters who have been left out in the cold by a rigged system of superdelegates, we welcome you with open arms.

We are hungry for things that have touched human hands.

I do think evangelicals have been under attack.

What interests me most is when a work of art is no longer just an object, but also touches reality and life.
