Comedian

Well, audiences will laugh at a lot of things that comedians won't.

I hate a well-lit room.

I unloaded trucks for a living and I hated it.

Obviously I'm 100-percent for freedom of expression.

To me the important thing for a comic to be is emotionally honest.

I never expect anything. The more good things that happen the better, but I never expect anything.

Don Lemon is one of my favorites. I love him.

I want people to feel like there's nothing they have to be worried about laughing at. There's nothing that can't be made fun of.

I don't really like Phil Robertson and I think his opinion about gay marriage is stupid. But in a country where we want an honest conversation, we have to realize that part of the honest conversation is hearing things we don't like and discussing them.

I find when most people are offended, it's phony. It's an attention-seeking device. So I love to call them out on it from stage.

If the show is going really well and the comedian is still annoyed with the audience, chances are he's a Boston comic. That's the beauty of Boston comics.

Communicate and just be open with each other. Have an unpleasant talk once in a while so it does not turn into a festering resentment, which is inevitable. It has happened with every girlfriend I have ever had.

I think what's happening is that women are allowed to be funnier as we stop pretending that there are subjects that they shouldn't address.

Here's the rule of thumb: When the entire family looks like the unibomber, they're against gay marriage.

I'm a much nicer guy than people think I'm going to be.

Anything you can do that's self-destructive in Vegas, whatever that is, I do it.

I love doing the radio, and it's different every day. But stand-up is just you and the immediate reaction of the audience. So I love both.

If someone doesn't like a comedian that's fine; a lot of people probably don't like my standup, and that's fine. But I think that the problem is people want you to get in trouble. That's the issue.

Trevor Noah is a great, relevant young comic, and Comedy Central is smart to stand by him.

I love everything about Boston. The women are phenomenal, they're all dirty. It's just a really great place to do comedy.
