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

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

When you stand alone and sell yourself, you can't please everyone. But when you're different, you can last.

I was nice to the people in the Philippines for the two and a half years I was there, because I knew even­tually I'd have to kiss up to them so my grandchildren could have toys.

Famous people are deceptive. Deep down, they're just regular people. Like Larry King. We've been friends for forty years. He's one of the few guys I know who's really famous. One minute he's talking to the president on his cell phone, and then the next minute he's saying to me, Do you think we ought to give the waiter another dollar?

You got to have a lot of courage. Secondly, whatever it is you're doing you have to believe in it wholeheartedly. Thirdly, you have to be able to stand up in front of people and know that they'll laugh.

It's just to break things up between stand-up gigs. I would only do it periodically. Maybe just an East Coast thing.
