I do situations and make fun of authority and life.

I don't feel an obligation to give everyone a hard time, but when they're important people, it's fun.

Frank Sinatra enjoyed my humor, so I could say almost anything to him. I mean, within reason.

I don't really tell a joke, I react to situations. The whole thing is just looking at somebody and showing all our weaknesses and exaggerating them, and that's how it becomes funny.

An insult comic is the title I was given. What I do is exaggeration. I make fun of people, at life, of myself and my surroundings.

Showbiz is great if you're successful.

I've never had a writer, and I'm proud of that. Everything I've per­formed has been from my own head.
