I say things I get away with, and it becomes a joke.

Sometimes I say things that I can't believe came out of my mouth. Or I won't mean something and it will come out completely nonsensical.

Often I feel I say too much.

So often people say something and you realise you haven't really heard it.

I think when you dissect a joke too much, you have ruined whatever there is in comedy.

There are some things that, if you say them out loud, will hurt the other person's feelings. I tend to say them anyway. It's better to be honest.

Some of my friends and family have tried to challenge me to do jokes that aren't as self-deprecating, where I genuinely express my own opinion in my own voice.

I think repeating yourself is a sign of old age, telling the same joke again and again. Especially if they're jokes that don't make people laugh.

You can tell on-stage when a joke's starting to lose its pop. It doesn't mean people don't want to hear it anymore; it means I don't want to do it anymore. Because I want to move on to something that has a knee-jerk reaction just like you get when you tell somebody a joke that they've never heard.
