I don't consider myself Jewish. I am half-Jewish by race but not through my mother.

My parents were secular. I am an atheist.

I consider myself a leader. I am not a follower.

I am not a dark person and I don't consider myself dark.

Comedy will always be central to what I do, it's just an instinct for me, but I am a writer and always have been.

I am not a Marxist, but I place myself resolutely at the left.
