We show a lot of film [with Regis Philbin] from my career which is most enjoyable. I enjoy watching it.

I don't really tell a joke per se, I build up an attitude and it becomes a joke.

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.

No matter where you go in this world, you will always find a Jew sitting in the beach chair next to you.

When someone says to me, do you do stand-up I say absolutely not. I like to think of it as a theatrical performance. With me the show changes maybe five to ten percent every night. Of course, whatever I see in front of me and sometimes I get on a little run about it and it changes the show. And my delivery is such that people who have seen me many times say Gee, I never heard that before. Actually, they have, but I might have changed it around.

I always rib people, but nobody ever gives me a hard time. I don't know why. Maybe they're afraid of what I might say. There's probably a lesson in that somewhere, but I don't know what it is.

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