I don't profess to be an expert on anything, or have the memory for who ran in 1952. I am an informed American citizen, that's my position.

I don't know what it's going to take for people to really wake up and understand that they [the Bush administration] are liars and they are murderers.

I am comfortable with myself, and this is how I am. I am not really interested in having an acrimonious fight with somebody.

When people heckle me, I have the microphone. And the press has the microphone.

I'm Italian, but some people think I'm Jewish because I work the Yiddish. I also work the Italian, by the way.

I keep my stand-up comedy notes in a pile on my desk. I don't organize my act. I keep myself in a state of confusion. It stresses me out, but I prefer creative chaos.

I don't want to do just a liberal show.
