This is NOT a pretty good business. You cannot be pretty good and be a national headliner. That becomes the allure.

There is a ceiling to it and there's a stigma. Billy Crystal as brilliant as he is, he's never going to be thought of as a contemporary like Alan Arkin.

You can vibe out when people are getting tired or they're too drunk to keep going along with.

I'm sure that having acted like an asshole for a great deal of my life, then having played assholes for a good part of my life, created a perception that I'm an asshole.

I realized early I can manipulate the ceiling in the middle class. The allure becomes how far I can make the ceiling rise.

As far as in my career, I don't know what other form there is. I would love to do a talk show.

I'm oddly not competitive. What I love about show business is there is a home for everyone.
