David Cross quotes about

It's this thing that I carry around. I know I'd be a better person if I was fairer, but it's at the core of who I am and what I believe.
I went to a bunch of marches in New York and Washington, and you know I believe in the cause, but to march with those people takes a lot of compromise on my end.
I was born Jewish, but I am an atheist. I dont believe in God.

There's the disingenuous duplicitousness, but you can apply that to every politician, really.
I've gotten "condescending" a million times, and that's not good.
I'm directing the Sky show. I'm not going to be in it. I'm just writing and directing it. So that'll satisfy that part of my brain.
I just did 101 shows in 86 different cities in America and Europe and Canada, and I'm not lying or exaggerating when I say, at the vast majority of shows, they loved it. There were encores, there were standing ovations.
Hopefully people will be reinventing comedy forever and ever. This is just what I do, and it's a type of comedy.
I'm a professional comic. Whether you think I'm funny or not, that's, again, subjective.
I do not want to encourage heckling and outbreaks at all.
