When you come back strong, you are going to have little nagging things that you can usually play through, but every now and again, it is to the point where you can't play.

People know me. I'm not going to produce any cartwheels out there. I'm not going to belong on Comedy Central. I'll always be a tennis player, not a celebrity.

Oh yeah... I know where we are going.... now making me to get angry... and to make me say stuff which I don't want to say.

The liar often suffers from amnesia. Amnesia is the silence of the unconscious.

We have lost many men and planes trying to intercept them.

My first open mic, I drank a full pitcher of beer by myself. I wasn't afraid of being in front of people as much as, Is this funny?

Be you. Make sure you're saying something when you're saying something. It's important to sound like you, to feel like you, to be like you. Be you.

The perfect love affair is one which is conducted entirely by post.

I really thought that love would save us all.

Passivity can be a provoking modus operandi; Consider the Empire and Gandhi.
