I've never had a writer, and I'm proud of that. Everything I've per­formed has been from my own head.

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.

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

You lose your energy, you lose that excitement and it gets the audience up.

Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.

Political correctness? In my humor, I never talk about politics. I was never much into all that.

Everything I've ever done in my whole career, people might not know, I've never written anything down on paper.
