Every election I have to hold my nose to vote.
As far as your personal goals are and what you actually want to do with your life, it should never have to do with the government. You should never depend on the government for your retirement, your financial security, for anything. If you do, you're screwed.
I just liked stand-up comedy so much. I used to memorize Bill Cosby albums and other people's albums, George Carlin, Flip Wilson.
I tried out for 'Jeopardy' once, when they came to Cleveland, but I didn't make it.
I was in the band when I was a kid, I played the trumpet.
What also helps our show is that we never take ourselves seriously.
When I did Comic Relief, I did it to be on the show; it's a badge of honor as a comedian to do that show.
When I play poker, I don't like losing the pot.
Being a celebrity you always get really good seats to sporting events but you never get as good seats as the photographers get. And I really love sports. So one of the scams I have going now is I want to learn sports photography so I can get better seats at a sporting event.
But sports photography isn't something you just pick up overnight. You can't do it once a year for fun and expect to do a good job. And I take pride in what I do.
I am never out there just jogging for the heck of it. I never do that. I start to run with a goal in mind, whether it's a certain time or certain distance or a specific heart-rate goal, and then I am done.
I don't miss the economic insecurity, the living paycheck to paycheck.
I don't have a Bluetooth thing on my ear. That bugs me.
My fans are pretty normal, they are always really nice and polite, and they don't interrupt my meals.
