Next month's issue of GQ Magazine features a new cover story on comedian Louis CK in which he opens up about past failures, his family life and his current success. One standout comment might seem a bit over the top, but fans of CK know his sense of humor so there's not too much to worry about. Basically he said Pootie Tang's bombing almost made him suicidal!

"It never stopped getting worse. I remember thinking, This is too much for me to handle. I wanted to give up," he told the magazine in regards to the movie's failure. "I knew it was my right to. But then a few minutes would go by and I'd realize, I'm still here. In other words, there was no escape from it. And I'd be a little disappointed at not being truly suicidal. I hated being 'all right.'"

The interview also had some uplifting, happy moments though. Louis opened up about his daughters and how they share the same sense of humor.

"They do surprise you. When my older daughter was about 8, I showed her the routine where I get explosively angry because she sucks at hide-and-seek. She thought it was hilarious," he gushed. "My girls and I make a lot of dark jokes together. In the upcoming season [of Louie], there's a line from a conversation I had with my older girl. She was saying how whenever she sees a three-legged dog, it lifts her spirits, because three-legged dogs are wonderfully unaware that they have a malady. They just walk around, and they don't give a shit."

He added: "And I said, 'You know, honey, they are lucky. But do you know the only thing luckier than a three-legged dog? A four-legged dog.' And she really laughed. Whenever she laughs that hard at something dark? I know it's good.'"
