Personal Quotes
#41. Yeah, look, when I’m doing stand-up and stuff, nothing I ever say is coming from a hateful place. And you can’t know what’s funny until you try it, you know?
#42. As some of you know, I was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, a form of depression. And depression is a disease that affects more than 16 million people in this country. And there is no like cure, per se. But like for anyone dealing with it, there are treatments that can help. First of all, if you think you’re depressed, see a doctor and talk to them about medication and also be healthy. Eating right and exercising can make a huge difference.
#43. Once we start doing our research we’re not going to have much left because it seems like all really talented people are sick. Pretending these people never existed is maybe not the solution. The rule should be…you could appreciate their work, but you only if you admit what they did.
#44. I just tell people that I’m flawed because I am, and I don’t want to pretend like I’m not. When you’re honest about it, you just feel better as a person rather than like you’re pretending to be someone else.
#45. I think if you’re able to be open, it’s really good. It’s reassuring when you hear someone that you admire talk about topics like that publicly because it’s an embarrassing thing sometimes. Crohn’s is an embarrassing disease to have so it’s not fun to talk about, but there are people out there that have it.
#46. Climate Change is no laughing matter, but I hope that through comedy we can inspire action. NRDC has been at the forefront of the fight for almost fifty years, making its mission to protect the well-being of this planet and everything in it. That’s why I am excited to be supporting NRDC and hope that you’ll do the same.
#47. The internet is evil, and I don’t like how it affects me. I don’t like how the internet is a place where anybody can s**t on you and make anything up. I’ve worked really hard to get my brain to this place. I can’t go online like everybody else because it’s just a f**k-fest. And now I get to enjoy my life.
#48. To learn how anything can just be taken away from you early gave me this sense of ‘F**k it. Whatever, dude.’ I’m able to do stand-up and f**k around because hopefully, the worst thing that has ever happened to me happened.
#49. I just want you guys to know. No matter how hard the internet or anyone tries to make me kill myself. I won’t. I’m upset to even have to say this. To all those holding me down and seeing this for what it is – I see and I love you.
