What reaches an audience is honesty. If you’re saying something truthful that’s supposed to be a funny line, it’s going to be funny.

[“Faggot”] is a great word! The whole thing about language is, it’s supposed to be broadcasting your intentions. These are my intentions and these words broadcast my feelings. If all of a sudden you have forbidden words that doesn’t make the intent any better. It’s just appeasing sensitive people.

It’s very easy for me to say that I think everybody should just be treated how they’re supposed to be treated and tattoos shouldn’t come into play.
