• Al principio estaba muy nerviosa por empezar a usar Twitter, porque no sabía muy bien qué se esperaba de mí. Ahora me siento bastante relajado, ya que es una forma de contar a la gente las cosas que haces, sin ningún intento de ser entretenido. Para mí, incluso la gente divertida que tuitea da una impresión simplista. Sabes que ha sido construido, que no es algo que acaba de suceder en ese momento. Así que leas lo que leas, lo mejor que consigues es, "Eh".

• I can't bear small talk, it's awful. I want to get beyond that thing of discussing how the weather is a bit better today than it was yesterday, and how this is a nice restaurant. I want to get to what are the problems, what's really going on. Are you in love? Are you in a lot of pain? What's really going on in your life? I'm interested in that area, whether it's on stage or in real life.

• The idea of a life plan, "I'm here now, where do I need to go to..." There's always "And then what?" And eventually the end of that "and then what?" is death. I've just learned that I can't have such a narrow focus as I did as a child, because there is no end point, and eventually you feel empty if you're not also nourishing other things: joy, love, relationships.

• I realize that in everything I was saying, that underneath my words was essentially, "why can't we be less judgemental and more like me." Which is judgemental and arrogant, to try and change somebody else's perspective just so that the world can seem better for you. It's important that we have these contrasts in life - nothing was ever created by being the same.

• Si hay algo que decir a grandes rasgos sobre los distintos públicos es que yo vivo en una gran ciudad, y esos temas del aislamiento, la protección, la soledad tienden a resonar en otras personas de las grandes ciudades. En un pueblo más dormido, donde la gente está casada con sus hijos, que yo me levante y diga: "Esta idea del matrimonio es una vieja y curiosa convención que nos hemos inventado" -cosas varias que son deconstrucciones de las normas de una cultura-, si la gente ya ha tomado decisiones así, es más proclive a decir: "Por favor, dejad de hablar de nuestros matrimonios, porque ahora estamos aquí".

• I've stopped doing things that aren't clear comedy gigs - to do something that's not "comedy night," it's a difficult thing. People have to be given permission to laugh. You need to know it's comedy; otherwise you might just think I'm a man talking out loud.

• About once a week I think about going and living in a cave and meditating instead. I think that would be a more peaceful life, where my spiritual journey was not interrupted by egomania so regularly.

• I am not keen on the idea of an oversharer. I don't like that as a problem. I have more of a problem with an undershare. If I'm talking to somebody and I ask them how their love life is and they say "fine," that's a problem for me. I want to know things about people, I feel like we're all here on this planet, and intimacy is important.

• I'm not interested in being gratuitously relatable and broadening out what I do in order to reach more people. When I'm going into specific details of the trauma, I think it's the details that connect with people. I'm accidentally relatable - I didn't mean to be, and I didn't think I would be. It feels like what I'm saying on stage is quite shameful and possibly perverted; so for other people to be laughing and go, "Oh, yes, we understand that. We are like that too," is very lovely.

• I'll just talk and talk for an hour, an hour and half, until funny things come out of my mouth - often things that I don't think will be funny, often things that I just thought were sentences, turn out to be funny, because they're the sentences of an idiot. There's level of self-awareness that develops, and I write down things that were funny, usually when I'm on stage, and that becomes the show.

• Siento que todos estamos aquí en este planeta, y la intimidad es importante. No soporto las conversaciones triviales, son horribles. Quiero ir más allá de eso de comentar que hoy hace un poco mejor tiempo que ayer y que éste es un buen restaurante. Quiero llegar a los problemas, a lo que realmente pasa. ¿Estás enamorado? ¿Estás sufriendo mucho? ¿Qué está pasando realmente en tu vida? Me interesa ese aspecto, ya sea en el escenario o en la vida real.

• I'm not playing a character. What I'm doing though is taking the worst, most shameful, peculiar, or troubling aspects of my personality. So there are elements of me that are not there. The happy version of me is not really in the show, because there's nothing funny about being happy. So it's more like I'm poaching on the funniest parts of me rather than actually creating some other character.
