I wish I could sit back and say, 'Oh, I'm gonna wait for a Merchant-Ivory film to come my way. Or Ivory-Merchant. Whatever it's called. But you just take what's given and then, hopefully, down the road you can be more choosy and only do, say, Wayans brothers movies. That's my goal: to be more Merchant-Ivory-Wayans.
I get burned out on standup. But I like acting. I do like it. But sometimes you just feel like a monkey. You just feel like a complete tool. But I like it. I do like it. Stand-up is just more free. A lot more freedom because you just do what you want to do.
There was a long time where I was an 'artist' in quotes, who had no money. But I guess back then I also never had a girlfriend.
When a role seems fun it's easy to play. It kind of comes organically.
There's more to life than being an actor in a Hollywood movie. I'm not going to adapt my life after that existence, where a lot of people do. And they get the publicist, and they get all that stuff, and it becomes them. I think it's a stupid way to live your life. A really dumb way to live your life.
You know how some people have gay-dar? I have fat-dar. I can automatically tell if you're fat or not. And I also have cerebral-palsy-dar.
Head gear, plus acne equals...table for one in the cafeteria.
I'm an American so its kind of hard for me to talk about 9/11. So whenever someone brings it up in a conversation, I say "I didn't like 9/11."
The other day, I got a henna tattoo that says "Forever."
When you look like I do its hard to get a table for one at Chucky Cheese.
Yesterday, I masturbated for 45 minutes... with salad tongs.
You know you're getting fat when your socks don't fit.
Fat jokes to me are always, always hilarious, as long as they're done towards yourself.
I've never been in love... But I imagine it's similar to the feeling you get when you see your waiter arriving with your food
