Kansas City, well, part of the town's pretty cool, and part of the town is not. But it's gonna be that way no matter where you go.

If you like looking at 'Starry Night' or water lilies or whatever, then why does it matter if it's an original? If the artist is still alive, and you want to support them, I get it. But if you want some famous dead guy's work, that's just a way for rich people to show off. It's the upper-class version of driving a giant Hummer.

Put me on the Food Network - I'll be the funniest guy talking about food. I don't care.

The whole point of comedy, what's fun, is taking the stupid thought I had and working it into something that makes a bunch of people laugh.

There's a difference between hiring writers and stealing jokes.

I definitely have friends who gave me a tag for a joke I already had. Like, 'Here's another line.' A tag is, 'Oooooh, it's an industry term.' It's like, there's the punchline, and a tag is like a secondary punchline.

joke like me friends

Twitter is basically just writing a bunch of one-liners - it's a short form or whatever.

The flat-out worst movie I've ever seen has to be Uwe Boll's 'Rampage.'

I wanna be funny, but if I have a chance to make a point while being funny - why not?
