It takes many years to be a great comedian.

My father wasn't much for show business. He was an insurance man - very well-liked, very warm. He had a lot of friends.

I have to have energy because I have a lot of expenses. A couple of cars, couple of dogs and a big estate.

You throw your best punch, otherwise don't do it.

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.

My whole act is off the top of my head.

I have no idea what I'm going to say when I stand up to give a toast. But I do know that anything I say I find funny.
