For a degenerate like me, Vegas is like a walk down memory lane. Last time I went to Vegas, I went to my old coke dealer's kid's bar mitzvah.
I snorted heroin once by accident. It was amazing. But kids, don't snort heroin. It's too good.
If you are a black woman, you get two history months in a row.
But I live an interesting life and I can tell a pretty good story and it has helped my career. But the downside is people know everything.
I was at Yankee Stadium one time at 5 a.m., but that was to buy angel dust
My dad was Superman to me, and in my mind he always will be.
Jason Alexander is a committed actor, he went from working on a show about nothing to actually doing nothing.
Frank Sebastiano is a real write. He has two Emmys, one from 'SNL' and the other from 'The Chris Rock Show' . The only award I have is an FM-mmy.
