The thing that I like about public-access is that I am often in the middle of chaos.

Many comedians - both male and female - do have an "I will never date another comedian" rule.

The best advice I've gotten in terms of that was someone who said, "People will surprise you if you let them."

I think you can make good things happen if you look for them. Life is a very positive thing.

I'm just trying to do my part before I get hit by a bus.

Outside of performing, (a comedian) is someone who is analyzing life, thinking about it and trying to be observing so much. In my opinion, it can make you feel on the outside looking in.

The whole romanticized sad clown thing, we have to get rid of that. That has to go. That's just getting sick people to voluntarily stay sicker and sadder than they have to be.

If people tell me something is impossible, I just want to prove that. I want to know that that's for certain. I don't want to not do something because someone says I can't.

Mania is fun. I won't lie, it's fun. But it's usually followed by a soul-crushing depression.

I just like testing myself. I just have that thing in me. Whatever it is that people tell me I can't do, I've gotta try it.

Suicide - when I think of it, to me it means someone had a lot of problems and they couldn't fight through them anymore. That's not cowardly. It's sad and nothing but.

Don’t surrender your life to a Face, a Farce, a Fence or a Force. Don’t be a Slave, be Brave.

Everybody must be focused on cultivating their own land of promise

When Rip Torn dies - heaven forbid - but when he dies, you'll only have to write RIP Torn.

Ninety percent of living is just showing up.

Sometimes just when I say hello the right way, I'm like, 'Whoa, I'm so cool.'

Fly from the company of the wicked--fly and turn not back.

I am used to being on tours with people who are fantastic performers and I respect them and I love their music. But the bottom line is they got the vision for what we are trying to do.

Friendship never forgets. That is the wonderful thing about it.

The cards are bigger than you. You're not bigger than the cards. The cards are the best player at the table. So, let them come to you and don't force the issue. Pick your spots.

Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
