I don't compromise. I only do the stuff I want to do.

I became known for surprising audiences. Except now, if I surprise them every time, they expect that.

In the '80s especially, a lot of comedians felt compelled to stick with what made them famous and those people became caricatures.

I don't really like saying "the gays"... I'm not sure why. I suppose I say "the Jews." but I don't say "the blacks." I guess because I'm a Jew for all intents and purposes and to group people together of which I am not one in such a casual way feels disrespectful.

I think Jews tend to hold me in fairly high regard.

I always look at myself knowing that I will have a certain degree of cognitive distortion.

I don't really care for like fat jokes about women, specifically.
