That I walk around calling people 'dummy' and 'hockey puck'. I do have a different life apart from being sarcastic on stage. I might kibitz around with my friends, but I'm nothing like the person who does stand up. Nothing like that.

It's very sweet to have people say nice things about you, and I always accept that.

I never went out looking for glory.

When I got out of high school, I wanted to be an actor but was getting a lot of rejections. I was getting rejected by life. My mother, God rest her soul, told me not to quit.

I would describe myself as a guy that's very normal but has the tendency to rib people, but never in a mean-spirited way.

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

My father when walked into a room, you could tell that everybody loved him. They really did. He was quite a man. My mother was more into the show biz atmosphere than he was.
