I still got my hair, I'm not fat.
The only thing I miss from the sitcom format is that immediate gratification of when you're, if we're talking about comedy, of the live audience.
If I'm really considering doing film from now on then that is the smart thing to do, or you can go either way. You can just do the same character over and over again and make a different comedy like over and over again.
I'd rather be in Las Vegas 104 degrees than New York 90 degrees, you know why? Legalized prostitution. In any weather that takes the edge off.
My wife gets so jealous. She came home from work and was mad at me because there was a pretty girl on the bus she thought I would have liked.
Flappers sounds like where waitresses go after they're too old to work at Hooters.
The best comedy, I feel, comes in a drama because it balances each other out.
The comics that are just conversing with you up there and drawing on their own life, yeah, I guess so. I guess some do political humor, some do topical humor, but the ones that I like, the ones that are appealing to me, were guys who were just talking to you about their life.
Failure-it centers me. Too much success has me thinking, All right, what's goin' on?
Right after 'Raymond' I had a world-is-my-oyster attitude, but I found out I don't like oysters. I had this existential emptiness. 'What is my purpose? Who am I?' I had a big identity crisis.
I have the show because I'm insecure. It's my insecurity that makes me want to be a comic, that makes me need the audience.
I have this mistress: show business.
I feel like this is a dream - and I apologize for how I dressed some of you.
After 'Raymond,' there was this big feeling of, 'What do I do next?'
