Show business is one of the few businesses that the devil will actually agree to own just a portion of your soul because he knows if you have a performer's ego you were probably working for him all along.

I'm not fundamentally a writer. I know writers, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for them. It bothers me that no matter how well I do it, it's not really my format.

I think that standup has always been an acquired taste and there was always only a handful of performers that were really inspired.

In the sixties and seventies you could probably name all the great comics. It was still special.

You hope to see an arc of growth in your ability to become a character on television.

I just wanted to be a good comic and had no sense of show business, but at some point you want the opportunity to write a show about your life.

Is it hard to make a living in show business? Yeah.
