people black sticks
Most stick people are black.
responsibility blessing work-out
I'm a producer on my show, which is great, but it's also kind of a mixed blessing because there's so much responsibility. Everything is a decision. You have to worry about the money, you have to worry about daylight, who we're going to cast and if this location doesn't work out, what are we going to do?
rain hippie way
I used to get bummed out when it rained; then I realized that it's God's way of washing off hippies.
writing night thinking
I walk around and think about things. When I come across a thought that makes me laugh, I write it down. Then, at night, I say the thought to people through a microphone. I don't think about politics or pop culture very much, so those thoughts don't often make it to the microphone.
phones band my-favorite
I like to go to concerts because I love to see my favorite band through the phone of the asshole who's standing in front of me.
dirty thinking years
If I think of a joke that's really dirty and I think it's funny I'll try it but what I've found over the years is they just don't laugh. It doesn't work coming out of my mouth so it's like they taught me 'don't do that. Don't go that way or you'll lose me.'
insult-to-injury add casts
The easiest time to add insult to injury is when you're signing somebody's cast.
home machines speed
I have a time machine at home. It only goes forward at regular speed
meaningful real done
It's very easy to go through your whole life and never really get anything done or have any real meaningful interactions or relationships. All of a sudden you're dead, and I'm going to say that's got to be a letdown.
ideas two sentences
Artistically, I find jokes really satisfying aesthetically, because there's something great about getting an idea down to a sentence or two.
kids students good-students
I was a good student when I was a kid, and I did everything I was supposed to do, and I got A's.
growing-up nerd comedian
I wasn't even a big comedy nerd. A lot of the comedians I know - a lot of my friends are comedians - they knew a lot about comedy growing up.
television rope velvet
I tend to avoid televisions, politics, and places with velvet ropes.
book thinking play
I didn't play music, nobody in my family had an instrument or played music, we didn't even have any books at my house. I think about it and I'm like, I don't know how I climbed out of there.
