I once walked in on my grandparents making love...And that's why I don't eat raisins.

Fat jokes to me are always, always hilarious, as long as they're done towards yourself.

I can get away with anything. But when I try to be sincere, people just roll their eyes.

The whole thing about working in front of the camera is to make people laugh when they're not supposed to.

I'm not cynical when it comes to things that are important. I'm cynical about pop culture and all that horseshit.

I kind of put myself out there as is. I'm a quiet person. I don't know if that's surprising. I'm a Pilates junkie.

You know you have a drinking problem when the bartender knows your name -- and you've never been to that bar before.

Actually, I used to be a busboy in a strip joint in New York and so I hate strip joints. I'm not that kind of person.

I have to stop crying when I watch "The View". It's not because of the topics at hand, I just feel sorry for that couch.

You're not supposed to be accepting trophies. You're supposed to be in the back being mad that people are getting trophies.

I think sadness and anger are really fertile ground for comedy. No one is really interested in a happy person doing comedy.

I don't like cursing in movies. I feel like cursing has become the new hackiness. You try to find substitutions for cursing.

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

Do you remember that kid that had sex with his high school teacher? I was reading online that he died today. He died from hi-fiveing.

Hollywood's built on insecurity. People are trying to prove things. And I probably have that. I probably do. Probably guilty of it, in a way.

A fantasy of mine is to do a podcast that's Marcel Marceau and I, and you only hear me laughing at him and trying to figure out what he's doing.

It's fun for me to couple emotion with comedy. I think it helps comedy. I think a lot of times American comedies don't play on emotion too much.

I understand Tea Partyers' anger with the system, but they are in way over their heads and often racially motivated, and I can't be part of that.
