Come on, man, I got a full beard!
At the risk bragging, one of the things I'm best at is riding coattails. Behind every successful man is me, smiling and taking partial credit.
She broke up with me. Didn't really tell me why. Luckily when you're the guy, you can just tell people she's crazy. 'Hey, Tom, I heard you and Lucy broke up.' 'Yeah, man. Turns out, she's crazy.' That's what they always do on Entourage.
If you believe that men and women have equal rights, if someone asks if you're feminist, you have to say yes because that is how words work.
You should really treat stand-up like you would a play. It's a one-man play.
One of my life goals is to be a best man. It's a baller position. You get drunk, you make speeches, and you make love to the prettiest bridesmaid. Usually standing from behind.

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.
Comedians don't have hits. You have to have a whole brand-new hour. You have no hits to rely on.
