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.
The higher up I went, the less happy I was.
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.
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.
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.
Listen, here it is: Technically, I never quit. I'm seven years late for work.
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 don't do drugs, though. Just weed.
I got real important relationships in my life that are very empowering relationships.
