I have never taken the high road, but I tell other people to 'cause then there's more room for me on the low road.
I have a couple of 'doing caps' in my wallet. That's what I call condoms.
Come on, man, I got a full beard!
Stand-up comedy is a raunchy profession.
I like the brand Band of Outsiders. Their suits are cut really slim, for smaller framed gentlemen.
I have an amazing metabolism. I'm sure that'll be gone one day. But I like to exercise, too, so I don't think I'll ever get really fat.
I guess my music taste is pretty predictable: I like new indie rock stuff, older stuff.
Being a rapper is about being cool, but being a comedian, you're not supposed to be the coolest guy.
I'm the kind of person, if I see something, like a funny video, I want to share it. With Twitter and Tumblr you can do that on a mass scale, and people get to know your personality.
After you do a joke a few times, you have material that you know works. Although sometimes I have a joke that has worked a bunch of times and then one night it'll flop. And that's when I really take a hard look at myself and say: 'Well, that crowd is obviously wrong. That crowd has absolutely no idea what it's talking about.
I'm in a situation with this girl that's as hopeless as overthrowing the Bush administration.
The hardest part about rollerblading is telling your parents you're gay.
When I tour, it's like, well, like a food tour as much as a comedy tour. I try to eat at all the weird places, the obscure barbecue joints, burger places. There are a few spots in L.A. that I'm obsessed with - one of them is the Taco Zone taco truck on Alvarado. There are secret off-menu items that are amazing.
I was a dishwasher at one of those Japanese places that cook on your table. Not too fun.
