An attitude will give you heft.

I'm a charming coward; I fight with words.

Everybody wants to laugh - you know that. They need to laugh... people need to laugh.

If you can get a laugh out of a name, you're ahead of the game.

Inviting people to laugh with you while you are laughing at yourself is a good thing to do. You may be a fool but you're the fool in charge.

When you denigrate people, they have two ways to fight back - with their fists and guns, or their mouths. And mouths are seemingly the easiest way to not get hit back. If people are laughing, they're not going to hit you.

Improvisation is just writing in front of an audience.
