I'm a freak for great movies. I love movies.
I don't think I'm ever going to retire from stand-up, but what I have retired from is working the road every week.
In my stand-up, I generally improvise from an outline.
Acting's fine if the script's written by Paddy Chayefsky and Martin Scorsese directs it, but unless you have something like that, I don't really enjoy acting.
I never analyze stuff with comedy because it's boring. It makes you stop being funny. Just be who you are and do what you do, and you're either funny or you're not.
The only thing that I demand of the audience is that they listen to what I'm saying. Other than that, they owe me nothing. They don't owe me a thing.
