My own personal rule is to tell jokes that I think the person I'm making them about can laugh at, to go home and tell their family, oh, my gosh.

I can't defend someone else's jokes. I can only defend my jokes, and I have to live with my own jokes.

In Boston where community policing is so important, they don't necessarily have to like each other, but they know each other. The cops in Boston make it their business to get out of their vehicles, to engage the public, to walk around the neighborhoods. They live in the community that they police. And I think these things help.

I like to roast things from the inside out. I like to know what's going on.

Maybe I'm corny, but I'm a big believer in second chances.

The real question is how do you stay funny in your 70s and 80s? And that's a real accomplishment, you know, the longevity.

The good thing about a jail show is nobody gets up and walks out.
