Before I was known, I would go on stage and pretend I was other people. Once I pretended I was mentally handicapped. It was really wrong. One time I was a bad magician. And one time I pretended I was a Christian comic.
Guilt is a weird thing to me. I don't have a lot of it.
I believed in God my whole life.
I definitely know that I play the part, however big or small, in the deaths of at least two people, Chris Farley and Phil Hartmann.
I had no blood relatives till I made some.
I have a spiritual advisor I call up, when I just feel lost. Lately, I've been talking to God. I developed this dialogue in rehab, this dialogue with God, and every day I talk to God.
I was a bad boy as a child.
I'm really ultra-affected by things... I feel things deeper, and I cry at the drop of a hat, and offended and sensitive and I'm almost paranoid very easily, and that's who I am.
My parents just neglected me, I wasn't abused or anything.
Now I try to make efforts, you know, I'm just, the best effort I can do is just stay sober myself. I can at least do that.
Straight people say, 'You know you're just gay,' and gay people say, 'You know you're just gay.' There is such a thing as bisexual!
There are atheists and Christians, and there are people in both groups who are a little too heavy-handed.
When I was a kid, I was afraid of other kids.
You cannot be this successful without having God on your side.
If a car passes me when I'm on a horse, I always think: if I were in that car and saw me, I would wish I was me. Wistful children's faces, staring out of the back window, agree.
