When I first started doing my comedy act, I just desperately needed material. So I took literally everything I knew how to do on stage with me, which was juggling, magic and banjo and my little comedy routines. I always felt the audience sorta tolerated the serious musical parts while I was doing my comedy.

When the person beside you is making you alert and keen and the idea of being with anyone else is not imaginable.

The presence of excessive wealth puts an unnatural spin on the appreciation of art.

It was essential that I never show doubt about what I was doing.

Thankfully, perseverance is a good substitute for talent.

I believe entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art you're an idiot.

It's not tipping I believe in. It's overtipping.
