I have to certainly stand for life. I know that there are some who disagree, and I respect their point of view. But I believe that life begins at conception.

I read somewhere that when I go on stage, people realize that they're not me and they feel better. When I walk off the stage, people know who I really am. I'm not saying it's great comedy, cool comedy or better comedy - but that's what I do, and I do it first for myself.
