“What makes us feel pessimistic about the world, ultimately, is the way the media encourage us to believe that our fate hangs on the every move of the promise-breaking, terminally disappointing Teflon liars in Washington.”

“What we Americans go through to pick a president is not only crazy and unnecessary but genuinely abusive. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent in a craven, cynical effort to stir up hatred and anger on both sides.”

“Criminal justice, as it pertains to the Goldmans and Morgan Stanleys of the world, is not adversarial combat, with cops and crooks duking it out in interrogation rooms and courthouses.

“Standup is a place where, as long as it's funny enough, you can say your most embarrassing things, shameful things and disappointing things.”

“What hurts most is whenever I am leading, and then I lose the match, it is disappointing, and there are so many such matches.”
