My mom is two people to me. She's my mom number one, and then she's this lady most comedians know as being a legendary owner of a nightclub that's responsible for starting a lot of heavy careers.
All these kids in Hollywood, the people born and raised out here, their parents are all in show business, and that's why I think we're good. That's why we're on top of the game now because we were born in it.
It's in my blood to tour. It's in my blood to get on the road. It's in my blood to go onstage.
I never got into The Jetsons too much.
I remember taking mushrooms at the wrap party, it was like the first and last time I took that.
People should stop poking fun at other people and worry about themselves. The reality is that my movies all have made money.
I'm Jewish. I've always had a thing where it's okay to dance with the devil, just don't become the devil.
Son-In-Law was kind of my crossover. It was the movie that brought me out of the MTV audience into the mainstream.
The Comedy Store attracts all types of people, growing up I was able to meet them all.
The MTV thing is the thing that I will always tip my hat to because that was like my acting class and how I got comfortable in front of a camera and how I kind of created my own thing.
You have to go away to come back. That's just normal. That's with bands, actors, comedians, everything.
I want to do an 'Extreme Makeover' show. You know that MTV show 'I Want To Have A Famous Face'? Well, I want to do a new show. I want to have a different famous face.
Even at my peak, I never went too over the top.
When you're onstage, it's important to try and feel some type of therapy in getting the material out, because then you don't leave the stage so tired. If you're onstage and you're doing the same routine over and over, then it gets monotonous. You want to be able to try to get to the truth constantly, and I think the more you do that, the easier it is.
