Iâ€™ve been the same guy since day one. No matter how successful I am in life, Iâ€™m going to stay true to myself and stay humble and grounded. I feel like thatâ€™s where your success comes from. Once you get that big head, itâ€™s over. You feel like you canâ€™t be stopped. Staying humble is the only way you can be great.
A few weeks later, Iâ€™m in a fluorescent-lit classroom in Chelsea awaiting the start of the official Mensa test. Iâ€™m sitting next to a guy whoâ€™s doing a series of elaborate neck stretches, like weâ€™re about to engage in a vigorous rugby match. Heâ€™s neatly laid out four types of gum on his Formica desk: Juicy Fruit, Wrigley Spearmint, Big Red, and Eclipse. I hate this guy. I hope to God heâ€™s not a genius.
Religious apologists complain bitterly that atheists and secularists are aggressive and hostile in their criticism of them. I always say: look, when you guys were in charge, you didn't argue with us, you just burnt us at the stake.

The great joy of doing 'The Daily Show' for me is that I get to sit on the fence between cultures. I am commenting on the absurdity of both sides as an outsider and insider.

And in a world without heroes, as the movie trailer voice-over guy might say, the slightly awkward can be slightly cool.
Arrogance is despised by God because no one has the right to feel superior to another when all are equally dependent on Him for everything.
You can have pride in what you do each day, but not arrogance in what you were born with.
Denys (Finch-Hatton) has been written about before and he will be written about again. If someone has not already said it, someone will say that he was a great man who never achieved greatness, and this will not only be trite, but wrong; he was a great man who never achieved arrogance.
Americans are always mortified when I tell them this, but in England, it's a tradition to put your plaques and photographs and awards and gold records and stuff in your bathroom. I don't know why.
It's more important for me to have a good record with good music and be part of a movie that's good and where the music is used in a really great way. That's the important thing. The other stuff you want to say about it, I don't care.
