I am careful with my material and presentation.

As a culture I see us as presently deprived of subtleties. The music is loud, the anger is elevated, sex seems lacking in sweetness and privacy.

I heard the other day of a man who paid a psychologist $50 to cure him of an inferiority complex - and later was fined $25 and costs for talking back to a traffic cop.

I quit smoking well over twenty years ago.

As much experience, education and awareness as one can attain is important for a comedian.

I am presently in my thirteenth year of teaching a graduate course at the University of Southern California.

Unquestionably, standup comedy is and has always been an art form.
