When you're 18, you're just so busy being scared and having fun - a crazy mixture - that you never thought of dying.

I was sitting in the toilet and I was by myself. I was tired of playing with the roller, so I said I'd better write a book.

Some people call me a legend and the last of the greats, and I appreciate it.

In the old days, that was my ad-lib for hecklers in the joints I worked. It stuck with me. I hardly say it now, say, to fans, even though people do send me hockey pucks.

To me, the stand up part in my life is great. I know I can do that. When I get an acting chance, I'm really thrilled.

I still have drive, but everything is relative.

I have my own gym. When you do jokes and they sell, you get a gym.
