knives ifs
I would never hit a woman - even if she had a knife or a stutter.
black way
Hitler really wasn't so bad. In the black way.
goal want host
My ultimate goal is to do whatever I want, whenever I want to do it. And that keeps changing. I didn't want to host my own show until I wrote for someone else's.
sound shows
God, that Anthony Jeselnik Show sounds really funny.
thinking comedian seeing
I like seeing what the comedian thinks is funny, not just what they think I'll think is funny.
driving problem authority
The driving force behind doing everything that I've been doing as a stand-up is having problems with authority and not liking to be told what to do.
always-trying comedian doe
Disasters are funny to me. As a comedian you learn from failure, so I'm always trying to put myself in a situation that does not seem ideal for my comedy and see how it works.
tattoo fighting laughing
Amy [Schumer] and I each have our cross to bear when it comes to tattoos. Amy and I are funny when we fight. It just keeps escalating until one of us starts laughing. Then it's over. I'm happy that we're friends.
laughing people mind
I want people to just be paying attention even if they're not necessarily laughing at something, or if it takes them a while to get something, I don't mind that. If half the crowd gets the joke and the other half is sitting there scratching their heads, that's just as good for me if I like the joke, because I feel like it just brings people in more.
hate comedy insult
In comedy, I hate that cop-out where you say, "Just kidding." I know you're just kidding. Don't insult my intelligence by spelling it out for me that much.
notebook writing cutting
I was always cutting words. I even would write my jokes in my notebook. I still do this, almost like a poem.
want do-whatever-you-want
Do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it
morning writing trying
I try to write three jokes every morning, although I don't know what they are. I write them as fast as I can, then I put them away for a month. So I couldn't even tell you what they are, or if they're good. I just assume they weren't.
team player boston
Comedy Central made me delete the Boston Marathon joke. I wasn't happy about it but, despite popular belief, I can occasionally be a team player.
