Stand-up comedy is a raunchy profession.

I just didn’t want to be pigeonholed as an 'ethnic comic' or an 'Asian comic.' I just wanted to be on the same playing field as everyone else.

Sometimes you gotta work a little, so you can ball a lot.

I'm an optimist - I feel like an amazing part of life is that at any moment.

I like going out and I like being single, but a growing part of me would rather just stay home, cook food with someone I really like, and do nothing.

Death is my neighbor now.

If there's anything I hate, it's the vibraphone. And the cha-cha-cha. And Latin rhythms generally.

Situations reveal who we are, they don't create who we are.

I like my men to be manly, as you'll see from my books.

Man has no greater enemy than himself. I have acted contrary to my sentiments and inclination; throughout our whole lives we do what we never intended, and what we proposed to do, we leave undone.
