I kind of do it in my head, then I'll try pieces of it on stage and if it looks promising, I'll put it together.

This stammer got me a home in Beverly Hills, and I'm not about to screw with it now.

I don't have a stack of scripts...

I'm one of those passengers who arrives at the airport five or six hours early so I can throw back a few drinks and muster up the courage to board the plane. Apparently I'm not alone because I've never been in an empty airport bar. I don't care what time you get there. Even at 8:00 a.m. you have to fight your way to the bar. At that hour, everyone drinks Bloody Marys so no one can tell it's booze- at least until they fall off their chair.

Television series are like the stock market. There's room for bears and bulls but no room for pigs.

Every new routine I have ever written and performed probably occurred extemporaneously. Then after you have fleshed it out and tried it out in front of a number of audiences and it works, you put it down on paper.
