I'm an entertainer first. But I do as a stand up comedian, the way for me to evolve is to make a difference, to make people laugh and learn and do something different. Because there's too many comedians out there just making people laugh. And anybody can do that.

I love what I do. I do what I love. I'm honest about it!

America thinks if you're fat, you're stupid. That's great. I want them to keep thinking that. Let them keep on thinking that because the truth is, the expectations are blown away even more when you realize what I'm saying and doing.

I'm too far to the left for some, too far to the right for others. I'm my own brand of comedy.

When I do jokes that maybe are seen as social commentary, I research them to the nth degree. I probably do more research than I do actual joke writing. I want to make sure what I'm saying is correct.

I want more stand-up comics in prime time. It's great for every comedian.

I'm topical as hell. That's not going to change if I lose weight. There are a lot of comics that do 'fat jokes' better than I do - Louie Anderson, John Pinette, Gabriel Iglesias. These guys are phenomenal.

Consumers of comedy, they like me and that's great.

So many comics, skinny and fat, make fat jokes.

Most comics give you what you want. I give you what you need.
