I can go to a lot of games, but I'm not a player. I'm kind of an observer. That's why I think I do what I do in life. I just observe. That's what I find fascinating.

My parents both had a great sense of humor, and always laughed a lot. One night, when they were watching Candid Camera, I finally understood what comedy was all about. I heard the laughter on television, I turned around and saw my parents laughing, and that's when I thought: 'This is great. This is what I can do. I'm gonna prank somebody.'

I needed time to stand back and go through a lot more experience in life. Then I have something to write about, joke or to animate.

We were a very small circle of writers. Everybody brought to the table their own life experience.

You can go home with a lot of money with absolutely no skill.

We sat down and told stories that happened to us in our childhood, to our children. They were all basically based on the truth. These stories were funny and poignant to us. They just took off. These are all stories from my life.

People who annoy people are the luckiest people in the world.
