Blasphemy: a law to protect an all-powerful, supernatural deity from getting its feelings hurt.

I think the best advice I'd say to any actor when you do comedy is play it straight.
world terrible ifs
If you can't joke about the most horrendous things in the world, what's the point of jokes? What's the point in having humor? Humor is to get us over terrible things.

When someone thanks God, I don't get offended.

The best way to avoid criticism is never do anything ever. Or, do what you love, have a great life & let others spend their time criticising.
rain climbing people
Life is just a series of peaks and troughs. And you don't know whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out, or on a peak until you're coming down. And that's it you know, you never know what's round the corner. But it's all good. "If you want the rainbow, you've gotta put up with the rain." Do you know which "philosopher" said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of tits.

There's no difference between fame and infamy now. There's a new school of professional famous people that don't do anything. They don't create anything.

Being an atheist makes someone a clearer thinking, fairer person. They [atheists] are not doing things to be rewarded in heaven; they're doing things because they're right, because they live by a moral code.
atheist thank-god
I'd like to thank God for making me an atheist.
hurt digging-a-hole embarrassment
I know how much embarrassment hurts, and I love it as a theme because you can keep digging a hole. It's just an endless well, embarrassment.

Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. Some people are offended by mixed marriage, gay people, atheism. So what? F*** 'em.
children attention attention-span
I've got the attention span of a child.
