You know, Elizabeth Taylor must be in Heaven going, 'Alright, fire two honey!'

I think ABC sort of hoped I would be really like Carol Burnett. I mean literally, I think.

I used to sneak up to the 8th floor and watch Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo rehearsing 'Saturday Night Live' and could only wonder if I would ever have the chance to be funny. It took me five years to go up the two stories, but it is such a sense of fulfillment to be able to show what I can do on national television.

I always tend to think of all of my shows as possibly my last show. I'm like a junior Springsteen, without the underbite.

If you just kind of live a regular life and make good 'Hollywood' money, you have a certain freedom.

I tried to go out for theater or theater arts, but I was too scared or too intimidated. But I had a lot of friends on the cross country team that had great senses of humor.

When people come to see my stand-up, they get a chance to see my characters interact with each other.
