“I hate being refered to as a comedian. Being a homosexual and a comedian is like being a pig and P. R. of the slaughterhouse: absurd. I'd rather consider myself a satirist. Acording to Thesaurus: a humorist who uses ridicule and irony and sarcasm… but i also puke a lot in the face of frustration; so then again i must be a supermodel.”
