My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles were all funny, and I felt that energy, that delivery, that timing, that sarcasm. All that stuff seeped into my brain.

It's very rare that an older comedian sort of slips into an old-school clunker. You know, you don't hear too much of that anymore.

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.

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.

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