Stand-up is really personal. It's not like somebody else is writing the script and you have to do what they write.

Young stand-ups, we ought to do comedy in George Carlin's spirit, in Richard Pryor's spirit, in Jackie Gleason's spirit, in Lucille Ball's spirit, because they did it with the spirit.

When I'm in the mood to listen to music, I do like to go to the SkyBar [ L.A.].

I do stand up sometimes out of anger. Sometimes the greatest stuff comes from a dark place.

I see the ups and downs. I see the mistakes I've made. I see a funny person. I see a serious person. I see a diamond. I see the good times. I see the bad times. And I see knowledge of self. I see knowledge of self. I know who I am. When I look in the mirror, I see me.

People bring camera phones into comedy shows and clubs and concerts, and sound bites never come out right.

If I don't offend somebody, then I'm probably not funny.
