I live in California, the worst place in the world for fat people. There are three of us. They have us on eight-hour shifts, so it works out.

I'm a 7 o'clock act. My people want to go to a show, a dinner and then go home and go to bed.

I have a very warm spot in my heart for Vegas.

I could be an alternative comic. I could be that really dark - I was - I was a very dark comic to begin with. I could be that guy, and the only reason I didn't is that I wanted to make money. I wanted to be popular. I wanted to be liked more than I wanted to be admired.

My first words were 'Seconds, please.' Most kids in kindergarten napped on a little rug. I had a braided 9 x 12.

I really made the cartoon Life with Louie with one reason in mind: I didn't have a very good relationship with my dad, and we didn't all watch TV together like we should've, like you hope for, like you've seen on TV, and I wanted to make it for moms and dads and their kids. That was always my goal. And then I wanted to put real things in it. We did a thing about the homeless and won a Humanitas award for that.

After 34 years, I feel like I did when I was starting out. I feel excited and feel I've never been better doing what I do.
