When someone comes up w crazy eyes and says something like, "can I have a picture- my husband has cancer." And I'm like "well okay... AS LONG AS HE HAS CANCER I guess I will" -- just keep it short and be cool, fool.

In a podcast I listen to Steve Agee talked about playing GoldenEye with you all the time in the early days. Do you remember this? Do you play anything now?

I'm not normally a heavy quoter, but I spout some of your random lines on the regular (especially with my sister—we both love ya). I particularly love speaking over people with "I'm so bored right now" (Sizzler Alert), and leaving a room with "Take it easy beazy, don't make it sleazy no lessons" (TSSP).
Thanks for doing this AMA now and doing you always—you're my favorite comedian.
Lulusbean59 karma

Dali-Dagger41 karma
Ok, as a comedian, at some point life gets in the way and your human (I think) so its normal to be depressed now and then. How do you stay quick witted and funny? I lost my mojo and it's like I've used all my allotted funnies. Help!
