I'm not afraid of just cranking it out and seeing what comes out of my subconscious. Because I don't always know what I'm feeling. I do a lot of rewriting later. But that first blast feels like a spigot - like it's coming from somewhere else.

New York was the Promised Land growing up. Writers were gods! The great gods of American culture... I thought.

The ridiculous way that workplace politics are conducted completely gets in the way of excellence in America.

Sometimes I feel that my job on earth is to put Julie White through horrible things, watch her writhe and then recover.

I want to have fun. Life ain't no dress rehearsal. I want to have fun. I'm a comedian; I ain't no politician. So everything I do is with humor, with love.

I typically start out almost every speech I give making some kind of joke about me being in a wheelchair.

I think the main thing about comedy and humor is that it's impossible and always was impossible to define.

I think growing up in Santa Fe or Northern New Mexico in general instills a sense of humor in people, a sort of easygoing sense of not taking yourself too seriously, while still being very proud of where you come from, and that's something we all share.
