The only thing harder than leaving show business is coming back.

Everyone who wants to make it in comedy goes to L.A., so a million comedians fight for time on three stages. If you get in there in New York, you're working eight times a night sometimes. Who's going to be funny, the guy who works once a week, or the guy working eight times a night?

Whether it means having a show, or a movie, or just being on a stage, I need an avenue to say what I have to say.
