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

They always use the word 'insult' with me, but I don't hurt anybody. I wouldn't be sitting here if I did. I make fun of everybody and exaggerate all our insecurities.

I cannot tell a joke. But I can do a situation, that it becomes a joke.

I think they [Martin Scorsese, Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra] liked my honesty. My personality. For that, they always treated me great. I, in turn, treated them great. No secret about it. My being who I am - that is that.

Alan King, a comedian I adored, was considered society, and I was considered the Jewish kid from the neighborhood.

I don't care if the average guy on the street really knows what I'm like, as long as he knows I'm not really a mean, vicious guy. My friends and family know what I'm really like. That's what's important.

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