New York Stat agreed to pay $12 million to settle a lawsuit filed three decades ago by inmates swept up in the bloody 1971 revolt at Attica prison. The settlement will be paid in the form of chocolate bars and packs of Newports that can be picked up in the commissary.
You can't make money on Broadway. You make nothing. You maybe make like $1,350 a week after you pay out all the producers.
I've been to Japan, I've been to China, I've been to Africa, I've been to the Middle East, I've been to Europe a little bit. I've never been to South America.
Everybody's got a different sense of humor. It's just different styles.
The only people who like to live alone more than comics are priests.
With comedians, you have that understanding that we're trying to get laughs.
I'm not a big method actor. I'm much more superficial.
Everybody's funny in different ways.
I'm always working on stuff. But they never materialize. I'm always working on movies and TV shows.
I'm quietly becoming New York's premiere actor. People don't understand. They have me pigeon-holed as a comedian.
I think people tend to feel odd when I do my act. Unless you are an ironic person, it's not a good place for you to be.
Stand-up is live, so I'm used to being live for most of my career. It's interesting.
You know, the funny thing about Lorne and that show is that, you can go over one million things, but in a business of bean counters, he still likes to laugh at small things and creates a show around it.
