Lewis Black Quotes

Halfway through the winter, I decided I didn't want to be a comic anymore. I wanted to be a bear. Because bears are more evolved. It gets cold, and what does the bear do? He goes, 'Well, I'm going to bed! This blows!' And then it gets warm and he goes, 'Well, fuck, time to wake up!'
