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.
I don't care if I ever work in TV again.
I'm happier in the way a guy gets happier when he starts to mature. It doesn't make things easier, but I'm so much better at handling them.
Where I'm from? A little town called none of yo god damn business.
All white people talk about when they get high is other times that they got high.
I love the fact that I have a show where you can run over a kid and everyone busts out laughing.
No one wants to get their ass beat to a soundtrack.
I got a lot of positive people around me.
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.
I enjoy my own thoughts sometimes.
Fame for me is like a place, a country I'm taking a tour through.
The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive. "I don't understand this person. So they're crazy." That's bullshit. These people are not crazy. They strong people. Maybe their environment is a little sick.
People don't know what it's like standing up there onstage, when you have a wall of people smiling at you.
