You give up your dream, you give up.

To be good, you need to believe in what you're doing.

I quit drinking. That was a big problem for a lot of years. Then after that, I just started feeling grateful again.

The inspiration was this great group of 40 or 50 relatives, sometimes for Thanksgiving or Passover or something and my brothers would just go up and make them laugh.

At 60, I could do the same things I could do at 30, if I could only remember what those things are.

[I did impressions] of relatives because I heard so many different sounds. My dad was in the music business and of course my uncle was a giant [music producer], but my dad in particular had the house filled with these Dixieland jazz stars.

If you do something for the first time, you will always remember it. If your Dad has something to do with it, you write about it.
