In most cases the only difference between depression and disappointment is your level of commitment.

When I was a young kid I loved Don Rickles, Buddy Hackett and Jackie Vernon.

I always thought I was funny, but I was very sensitive, and very provocative just to get a rise out of people.

I seem to offend everybody. I just never got into the universe. I don't seem to have a tremendous amount of discipline or patience with having to follow a story that is really multi-leveled and science-fiction.

My dad is actually a manic depressive, which is very exciting half the time.

I was also a big Woody Allen fan. When I got into college I listened to Lenny Bruce but it's taken me years to put him into context historically and really get what he did.

There's nothing more horrifying than the possibility or the idea that you will just fade away into obscurity.
