That heightened dynamic can produce interesting, funny ideas that are phrased in ways that surprise even you, as the performer.

I often think about my future wife and how lax she's been about getting in touch with me.

I'm keeping in shape, you know, gotta look good for the ladies - and certain guys. Hey, I can't control who's looking. I just gotta bring the heat.

You'll get them tomorrow. You gave it a good shot. Keep your chin up.

The more you perform, the more adept you get at the nuances of navigating that communal conversation.

I belong to a gym now... well, let me rephrase that: I don't belong there at all, but I go.

The blues is a hopeful music. It helps you process something rather than avoid it. It's like mourning, in essence.

I think there comes a time in any comedian's career where they can either coast or keep growing and evolving.

Comedy takes all of life and puts it through a lens of acceptance, just by the mere act of talking about it on stage in a communal setting. It's very primal and ritualistic in that sense.

Inherent in mourning is celebration. Mourning without celebration or some form of acceptance leaves you stuck.

The cost of life is simply the value that was extracted from the time available.

Love can be expressed in a myriad of different methods, but the most timeless and most treasured will always remain the classic love letter.

I think most actors rarely get the opportunity to play something really close to you and speaks to something you deeply believe.

As spirits roam the neighborhoods at night, Let loose upon the Earth till it be light.

I always urge players to study composed problems and endgames.

The Buddha said that no true spiritual life is possible without a generous heart. . . . Generosity allies itself with an inner feeling of abundance - the feeling that we have enough to share.

If you're unhappy, change something.

Without women's full inclusion at the decision making table, we cannot have any healthy decision making that is good for men and women alike.
