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.

When I got out of high school, I wanted to be an actor but was getting a lot of rejections. I was getting rejected by life. My mother, God rest her soul, told me not to quit.

The thing I love about Vegas is that it's a melting pot. It's like working Ellis Island.

Some people say funny things - but I say things funny.

I don't feel an obligation to give everyone a hard time, but when they're important people, it's fun.

I've never been able to tell jokes. In the beginning of my career I did impressions and jokes like any other comedian, but I was never very successful because I did it poorly. So I started to talk to the audience and started talking about the atmosphere around me and started to become angry, not in a mean-spirited way, but in a fun way - and my attitude developed from there.

Struggling is hard because you never know what's at the end of the tunnel.
