Because I was surrounded by so much negativity at some point that it took me going back and doing stand-up to realize, you know, people really like me.
I got real important relationships in my life that are very empowering relationships.
If someone sits and stares at you while you eat, you won't even eat the way you normally do, because it'll make you so uncomfortable. If I look at my dog when he's eating, he will look at me like, "Dave, I will bite you. What are you looking at? I'm trying to eat." It's something that dehumanizes a person, being on display like that.

The higher up I went, the less happy I was.

I don't normally talk about my religion publicly because I don't want people to associate me and my flaws with this beautiful thing. And I believe it is beautiful if you learn it the right way.

No one wants to get their ass beat to a soundtrack.
I got a lot of positive people around me.
Listen, here it is: Technically, I never quit. I'm seven years late for work.
