So many young people think the big sex act is the whole movie, but that's not the case. You need to be able to talk and laugh and cry together.

Well, I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.

When I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.

Al Capone's my uncle. The old days were a lot different. The Latin Casino was the big time. When I got there I figured that I was doing pretty good, because remember, I started in nothing but after hours joints. I can't even name them now, but that's how I got noticed.

What I do is, I make fun of people and I make fun of myself and things around us and exaggerate things. And I'm never mean-spirited. See, the word insult means some guy who's a real unkind human being. But I don't do that, because otherwise I wouldn't be headlining all these years, thank god, and all these people showing up to see me.

Everything I do on stage, I made up in saloons. I started doing it in front of people, and that became my performance. I never had writers.

I always say that comedians and actors were all kind of shy when they were young. I was very, believe it or not, kind of embarrassed as a child. But my mother was a very strong lady and she was the one that kept it going when I thought it would be over for me as a performer. She was always my inspiration and she was a big influence on me.
