" The planet is fine. The people are fucked."
" I think it’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately." " I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don’t have as many people who believe it." " The reason I talk to myself is because I’m the only one whose answers I accept." " It's all about the money." " There are no bad words. Bad thoughts. Bad intentions. And wooooords." " I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately." " I have as much authority as the Pope. I just don’t have as many people who believe it." |
