Stand-up in general is the most raw form of entertainment. There is no pyrotechnics or back-up dancers, it's just live and die by your jokes, that's it.

You see people who are 19 or 20 years old and they don't even know who The Who is. It's like, where have you been? Justin Timberlake? C'mon. Where are the roots?

I've been in this business so long, it just doesn't faze me. I know what's going to happen before it happens.

I don't see many people with longevity anymore. Everything was harder when I started, and you had to take acting lessons, do theater parts, work on connections and then get lucky. The technology is good, but it's also a hindrance for longevity.

These days, everyone is a writer, producer and movie star. You post something on the web, get enough hits, and suddenly you have TV show.

I don't think you can ever make enough to be set for life. Well, I guess there are limits. In the billions, I guess.

I don't really go back over my old shows, but I'll see them occasionally, mostly I want to go back and change things about the character as I look at them.
