Comedian

You know, be able to do something great in your life, you're gonna have to realize your failures. You're gonna have to embrace them and figure out how to overcome it.

You can't get un-famous. You can get infamous, but you can't get un-famous.

The world can't tell you who you are. You've just got to figure out who you are and be there, for better or worse.

The way the people around you position themselves around you to get in your pockets and in your mind is infuriating to me.

Stand-up is the kind of gig that'll show you where you're at.

You got to be careful of the company you keep.

You know you must be doing something right if old people like you.

Comedy is a very approval-oriented field.

The only thing harder than leaving show business is coming back.

Everyone around me says, You're a genius! You're great! That's your voice! But I'm not sure if they're right.

I've done 10 or 11 pilots for network television, which is ridiculous.

One of the things that happens when people make the leap from a certain amount of money to tens of millions of dollars is that the people around you dramatically change.

I get a little heated when I talk about the past. But I wanted to be clear - I'm not mad at anybody - not anymore.

America, I appreciate you liking me.

Fame for me is like a place, a country I'm taking a tour through.

I love my jokes.

Because I was surrounded by so much negativity at some point that it took me going back and doing stand-up to realize, you know, people really like me.

The higher up I went, the less happy I was.

Being famous is great, it's not like bad or horrible or anything.

You can't get unfamous. You can get infamous but you can't get unfamous.
