Back when Jerry Seinfeld was just another comedian hanging around the clubs, I'd imitate him to amuse myself and the other comics. The club owners would say, 'What are you doing that for? Nobody knows him.'

With the Internet, if you erase something it just means you have to spend another half-minute to find it.

People have many theories about comedy, but being just plain funny is the one most important thing.

If someone says that I'm the best at anything, I always just agree with them. I'm certainly not gonna argue.

I personally think Miles Davis is a lot funnier than me. And he's working more.

I've never been one of those who wanted to fill my calendar up 90 percent of the time.

My family originally lived in Brooklyn. Our first apartment was a little place above my father and uncle's hardware store in Coney Island. Now, don't get the impression that we were surrounded by merry-go-rounds, roller coasters and Ferris wheels. Nope, this was a little side street.
