Then don't forget that the act has to be funny, and to me, being funny and entertaining any given audience is more important than anything.”

“A comedian needs to have his own filters, needs to know his audience, how far he can push things.”

“What I do for a living is whimsical and fun and ridiculous. I'm supposed to make people laugh. We all have that child in us. For many people, that child gets pushed into a corner. But if you want to be creative, that little kid can never go away.”

“A lot of my stories about the old days, they're delicious and funny. But every time I recall the early days, it's painful. With every anecdote, it's painful because you're summoning up the terribly, terribly difficult life of my parents. And it's painful because I didn't realize at the time how hard it was for them.”

“A funny thing happens in real estate. When it comes back, it comes back up like gangbusters.”

“It's funny to say its fun to explore someone's really rough time, but it is. It's exciting.”
