Come cook food with me and do nothing.
The four sweetest words in the English language — 'You wore me down.'
Your favorite kind of cake can't be birthday cake, that's like saying your favorite kind of cereal is breakfast cereal.
So many gay jokes tonight about (James) Franco. Apparently if you're clean, well dressed and mildly cultured, you're super gay now. Is that why the rest of you guys are so aggressively fat and dirty? You think if you read one book and take a shower, dicks are going to just fly into your face.
I know my fan base is a smart group of people.
If thou canst walk on water, thou art no better than a straw. If thou canst fly in the air, thou art no better than a fly. Conquer thy heart that thou mayest become somebody.
I talk about stuff like my Blackberry, Lost, the internet, music, etc. so I guess that leads to the "nerd" moniker. But I don't get it that much to be honest. I guess its better than being labeled a "racist" comedian.

You've got to be pretty confident that you're good. If I do a show and for whatever reason no one laughs, I'll be like, 'Wow, those people are weird'.
Comedians don't have hits. You have to have a whole brand-new hour. You have no hits to rely on.
I live in L.A., I go on tour all the time, I'm in New York half the year - it's very hard to be in a relationship.
