I didn’t know how to think right. I felt wrong about everything. But God stepped into my life, and I came out on the other side and didn’t even smell like smoke.

I do not think I should care to go on worshipping a Madonna even if she did wink. One cannot make much out of a wink. We want something more than that from the object of our adoration.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

I don’t need therapy. I’m not going to see a therapist; comedy acts as my therapy. I put my problems out there. I talk about them. I talk about everything before anybody has a chance.

Jesus didn’t die for us so we could pretend to be something we’re not.

I am simply trying to struggle through life; trying to do God’s bidding.

There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment.

God always wants us to be growing.

All of our problems start in our minds.
