Last year people won more than one billion dollars playing poker. And casinos made twenty-seven billion just by being around those people.
Christmas: It's the only religious holiday that's also a federal holiday. That way, Christians can go to their services, and everyone else can sit at home and reflect on the true meaning of the separation of church and state.
The worst thing you can do to a dictator is laugh at him.
Kids do have to learn that life is a humiliating charade of endless disappointment and tragedy ultimately culminating in pain, decay, and death. My parents used to sing me to sleep with that one.
I'm capable of living in the moment. And I'm especially capable of living in the moment of sitting on my sofa and watching other people's moments.
I dislike Ted Cruz as much as the next everyone. But that's no reason to be rude to Ted's loving wife and possible hostage.
Sex with my first boyfriend was a little bit like learning how to put in a tampon, but only half as enjoyable!
There's a danger zone if you take yourself too seriously. It's a terrible trap to fall into. I think it's the death of comedy.
I find Donald Trump so haphazard, and that keeps me up at night.
I continue to be very shy. I think a lot of actors and performers are really weird, shy people working it out onstage. I don't know why that is.
It's like you can't even go on the radio anymore and condemn a whole subset of people to hell without getting some blowback.
You have to be willing to ask questions that almost no one else would ask.
It's fun to be surrounded by people that you love.
You don't want to be glib; you want to treat every story respectfully.
The people I really feel sorry for are all the writers out there who wrote these outrageous comedic romps about a grossly unqualified person who goes on to become a Vice Presidential candidate in a hotly contested presidential race. With hilarious results. They must be so bummed.
There's always going to be someone who hates you. There's always going to be people who love you. It's a risk in either direction.
You need to be able to agree from time to time if we're going to get anywhere. Once you have started a civil dialogue, it's a much smoother road to compromise. The key thing to remember is it's a daily practice.
It's weird how you can make people feel comfortable, and then ask them an uncomfortable question, but it doesn't ruin their day.
It's great when you have people who will speak passionately and honestly about what they are doing.
I was totally unknown in the television and film industry in Canada.
Hopefully the person I'm trying to create is just a funny, dour, evil side of myself that has no other way to express itself. I don't model it after anyone in particular. Who would be like that? Who? I wouldn't want to meet that person. I wouldn't want to be interviewed by that person, I can tell you that.
We definitely sometimes get stuff that's different that we were expecting. I mean, that's part of the joy and the terror of interviewing real, live people. Sometimes they come along the journey with you, and most of the time they don't.
As a viewer myself, I tend to gravitate toward projects that have a really strong voice of a strong creator.
My apartment is the equivalent of one room in my Toronto home. Now I understand why New Yorkers are on the streets at all hours. People don't want to stay inside for fear they'll go crazy.
I'm shy, but I'm not clinically shy. I don't have social anxiety disorder or anything like that. I more have a gentle shyness. Like, I have a little trouble mingling at parties.
