I don't think any comedy is ever shocking. I don't buy that. That's just what people brand it, when someone is saying something they don't like.

I want people to feel like there's nothing they have to be worried about laughing at. There's nothing that can't be made fun of.

I know I'm funny, and I like to be in front of people, and the fact that I'm good at that. It's the one thing that gave me self-esteem.

If I'm gonna make fun of Trump, I'm gonna tell you things that I've done that are similar. I like to tell on myself, as well as make fun of the people I'm talking about. I feel like it gives me more of a right to make fun of them if I am talking about myself, too. It's more fun for me that way, honestly.

Here's the rule of thumb: When the entire family looks like the unibomber, they're against gay marriage.

If somebody said about me, 'I don't think his jokes are good, I don't think he's a good comedian,' I don't like to read that but that's a fair thing to say.

My instinct is to be honest and make fun of things.

No matter how many books I've sold, nothing can correct the fact I look like Alfred Hitchcock from the side.

I love Philly so much. I know that at any time, any place, a fight can break out. Those are great comedy fans.

For me, a good comedy town is filled with people on the verge of a riot. They need something to relieve the tension.

You never want your greatest work to be 10 years ago.

With 'Mouthful of Shame,' all of my fans or the majority of them said it's the best thing you've ever done and that meant a lot because as you go on with time, if they're still really enjoying it, that means you're getting better.

I think what's happening is that women are allowed to be funnier as we stop pretending that there are subjects that they shouldn't address.

I wanted to do a talk show that reminded me of the old school ones I loved as a kid, without all the fake enthusiasm and sound bite-driven conversations.

All major cities are the same. People have the same sensibilities and they get afraid of the same subjects, groaning at the same things.

The biggest killer to funny is hyper sensitivity to certain subject matter and Montreal is as guilty of that as L.A. or New York or San Francisco.

I find when most people are offended, it's phony. It's an attention-seeking device. So I love to call them out on it from stage.

You just have to believe in what you're saying and be able to explain why you said it. There's nothing I say that I can't back up or at least explain why I came to that conclusion, so I'm not afraid of getting in trouble.

If someone doesn't like a comedian that's fine; a lot of people probably don't like my standup, and that's fine. But I think that the problem is people want you to get in trouble. That's the issue.

I hate my hair so much.

I have cowlicks, so my hair has always been a source of torture for me.

I think people like to label everything. I just think it's comfortable.

If I leave the mike in the stand, my hands absolutely move more. I'm not sure if it's a conscious thing.

Ozzy Osbourne is one of my favorite interviews, he's so good.
