mirrors looks glamorous
Sure, being a reservist wasn't as glamorous, but I was the one who had to look at myself in the mirror.
credit given range
Perhaps I have a wider range than I'd given myself credit for.
style comedic
Obviously comedic styles do change.
wish cases changed
My life has changed. I'm not walking around any more wishing I wasn't me, which was the case at one time.
bleak
Until I started doing standup, there were some very bleak days.
terrible happens
Whenever something good happens to me, it's usually followed by something terrible.
funny kids knows
You have to discover when you're inadequate to be funny and you don't know you're inadequate when you're a kid.
lines lasts likes
Woody Allen likes to do a lot of master shots. He likes to get the whole thing in one take, and so you could be going along doing a scene, and then the next to last line, all of a sudden, you stumble, and you have to go back to first base.
army years class
In those days, reserve duty lasted for six years, which, I might add, was three times as long as service in the regular army, although to be perfectly honest, I was unable to fulfill my entire obligation because I was taking acting classes and they said I could skip my last year.
writing eight actors
I don't write shows with dialogue where actors have to memorize dialogue. I write the scenes where we know everything that's going to happen. There's an outline of about seven or eight pages, and then we improvise it.
war army president
I couldn't be happier that President Bush has stood up for having served in the National Guard, because I can finally put an end to all those who questioned my motives for enlisting in the Army Reserve at the height of the Vietnam War.
couple hook firsts
I was very fortunate to hook up with Jerry in the first place. The network was already committed to doing something with him, so I skipped a couple of hundred steps right there.
lonely kids thinking
I still think of that guy I was without a wife or kids, and I still want to entertain that guy. The lonely guy, the frustrated guy, the guy with no money - this is the guy who needs to laugh.
sex temperature degrees
The closest I ever came to death was masturbating with a 104-degree temperature.
