Once in a while, when I'm alone, I think about my age. I think, How many more years do I have on this earth? But I can't really conceive of dying. Somehow, in my head, I don't think I'll die. I know that everybody dies, of course. I just think that it'll never come to me. It's crazy, but there it is.

I was always the guy - out of insecurities, I was always making fun, even as a kid.

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.

I've never had guys sit me down and say this is what you've got to do. It's my personality that makes me one of a kind, and I believe that.

Show business is my life. When I was a kid I sold insurance, but nobody laughed.

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

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