I would love to be in the middle of some stupid argument with my wife or whoever, and just be able to stop in the middle of it and just be like, 'What are we doing? Life is flying by. This isn't worth anything. ... Who cares?'
I don't know if you ever can undo things that were done to you.
That whole myth that you can't be happy and still be funny is a myth.
I am a mess of a human being, still, this far into life. ... But it makes for good comedy.
