The violence or the vaudeville style of comedy is a technique all by itself. You get up there, and you are a comedian, and you're doing one thing. That is, you're going to make the audience laugh.

Do your part to silence gossip - don't repeat it.

Shirley! Don't call me Shirley!

Like a blind man at an orgy, I was going to have to feel my way through.

Like a midget at a urinal I was going to have to stay on my toes.

I like that kind of 'straight-faced' comedy. I like to be straight-faced and outrageous.

Today, in my career, I'm doing what I love to do. And that is, do things for the fun - do comedy. It's a pleasure to go for the laughter.
