Off-camera, I sound like Perry Como.

I was the class podiatrist. I never made it to class clown. I wasn't funny enough. I would examine feet and prescribe and ointment. It was a sad childhood.

Well, I play Jews and parrots. Parrots are how I've branched out.

If the police ever try to pick me up, Michael Jackson told me I can hide out at his house.

I changed the face of comedy. I used to be funny.

I remember being at the premiere of 'Beverly Hills Cop II' and the tremendous reaction from the crowd outside, then going to a party at a hotel afterwards where the speakers were blasting 'Shakedown,' a song from the movie. That felt like a show biz moment to me.

I wanted to be a brain surgeon, but I had a bad habit of dropping things.
