"The Entertainer" He did it all.

My mother was born in San Juan. So I'm Puerto Rican, Jewish, colored and married to a white woman. When I move into a neighborhood, people start running four ways at the same time.

The one thing you don't want is that stale sound when you've done a line so much you can't find a fresh approach to it. Drop it.

The manic pursuit of success cost me everything I could love: my wife, my three children, some friends I would have liked to grow old with.

Wishing, hoping and regretting are the most common and dangerous tactics for evading the present.

There are lines that I know are going to get a belly laugh, but after a few shows I get sick of hearing myself say them so I drop them.

After I decided to become a Jew, only then did I learn that the Jews don't have all the money. When I found out Rockefeller and Ford were goyim, I almost resigned.
