I'm not a great joke writer, which is odd for a comic to say, but I'm not.
Being a playwright is like the equivalent of doing a jigsaw puzzle that has 1,500 pieces, and it's a jigsaw of a blue sky. Not a cloud in sight.
As psychotic as it gets outside, the comic can be more psychotic.
People would be a lot better off if they'd enjoy being single.
Online, there's no time. It's always Christmas.
Basically, I started on stage yelling and I kept yelling, and then I yelled some more, and then I yelled even louder. I'm modulated now.
Let me be serious: divorce is a sacred institution between a man and a woman who hate each other. God wanted Adam to pay alimony to Eve, not Steve.
I don't understand how anybody's still a Democrat or a Republican. I don't know what they're basing it on.
I love anything that gets me outside of my own head.
Everybody's got cable.
Harry Reid is not funny; he's creepy. Nancy Pelosi is creepy. Charles Schumer is sneaky and creepy.
I'm constantly in fear of having a stroke.
I'm amazed that anyone is interested in what I have to say.
I'm a happy person but an angry citizen.
