Monogamy is so weird. Like when you know their name and stuff.
I got back from Toronto, where they had a severe outbreak of SARS- you know, Severe Asian Racism Syndrome.
My parents never really had that much money, so I kind of live in the same world that they do.
The only thing that was sort of Asian [as a role model] was Hello Kitty. I don't want to model myself after Hello Kitty. She has no mouth.
I have a song about how much I hate emojis and the lazy thinking of people who use them. I wish that more people had respect for the English language.
Pot is an insidious drug because it can steal your life away from you, without you even being aware of it. I had a love affair with pot for ten years. Pot was my most devoted partner.
I want to get married but I look at husbands the same way I look at tattoos. I want one, but I can't decide what I want, and I don't want to be stuck with something I'd grow to hate and have surgically removed.
I'm very much a stand-up comedian in my heart. That's really what I do. Now I'm trying to incorporate all of the different elements of my work as a performer, and use it as a stand-up comedian.
Sometimes the only way to deal with horrific things in life is through a dark sense of humor.
My life is anything but typical.
Kim Kardashian is a kind of archetype. But she owns her beauty and is tremendously successful. There's no tragedy, there's no drug story. There's just her and her fame and her beauty. But Anna Nicole created that template of somebody that you'd want to watch on reality TV. Somebody that you'd want to invite into your home or as a role model, in terms of beauty and lifestyle and glamour.
People are really terrified of me. I don't know why, I'm very nice, but people are very intimidated by me.
Some people are that - more than a parent, more than a role model, more than anything less than a religion.
The newest victims of the nation's foreclosure crisis are pets, which is extremely distressing to me.
