until
I came out to L.A. in '78 to be a musician. I didn't get into comedy until the mid-Eighties.
although exactly supposed
My goal is to be exactly how I am offstage - although I realize I'm supposed to punctuate it with jokes.
morning wake
My goal isn't to wake up in the morning and hurt people's feelings.
best heat picture won
'The Graduate' should have won best picture over 'In the Heat of the Night.'
front object people
There are so many people who just want a flashy object in front of their eyes and don't want to think at all; I find that disturbing.
late seventies top unusual
Very unique: I was a singer-songwriter-guitarist. Very unusual in the late Seventies to find a singer-songwriter, and on top of that, a guitarist.
came womb
When did I start comedy? I came out of the womb and did 10 minutes.
maybe
Can we all admit that 'Parks and Recreation' is horrible? Is this something we would all know, but don't say? Maybe everything should not be improv'd.
funny verge
George Lopez is always on the verge of hilarity. If he could ever think of something funny to say, if he had a funny thought in his mind, he's ready to go.
dave funny hilarious nobody notice people shock tricky
I do notice a lot of people who want to shock to get laughs. It's such a tricky thing; you don't want to make rules about it. There's nobody more hilarious than Dave Attell, and he'd break every rule you set up. But he's funny.
although articles enjoy onstage people standup work
I don't enjoy writing newspaper articles any more than people like reading them. I'm a standup comic, not a journalist, although sometimes onstage I will say: 'What else is in the news?' Writing is work, which I'm not comfortable with.
catch crowd futility hard joke laughing looks middle normally performing stopping
I even get tired performing standup, which is normally a low-impact exercise in futility but looks hard the way I do it. That's why I take a lot of breaks, often stopping in the middle of a joke to catch my breath, or blame the crowd for not laughing before the punchline.
belief fear fearless move stronger totally
I feel completely fearless when I'm on stage. And also totally fearful. There's the fear that I'm not making a very smart career move sometimes, but there's the stronger belief that these things need to be said.
bad delivering love true
I have a true love for the old style of Catskill comic. There's a joy in discovering a bad joke... and then there's the joy of delivering it like, 'Isn't this a hacky joke?'
