Art Is Supposed To Punch You In

I'm Sad To See The Passing Of The Great Drug Warriors. I Certainly Did My Part In That Battle And I Don't Regret Any Of It.

Jokes Do Finish Themselves. I Really Do See Them As Ongoing Conversations About Personal Themes That I Ruminate On.

I Just Wanted To Be A Good Comic And Had No Sense Of Show Business, But At Some Point You Want The Opportunity To Write A Show About Your Life.

In My Life, I Didn't Get Into Comedy To Be - I Had No Business Model. All I Wanted To Do Was, Basically, Finish Becoming Myself. And You Stand In Front Of People And Be Seen And Heard In This Format. I Thought It Was The Most Practical Format For Me To Express Whatever It Was I Was Going Through. Whatever My Ideas Were In My Evolving Philosophy About Life. I Obviously Don't Sell Out Theaters. I'm Not A Household Name. I'm Not Incredibly Consistent In Terms Of Doing The Same Act Over And Over Again, And I'm Definitely Working Out A Lot Of My Existential Issues Onstage.

When I Was A Young Kid I Loved Don Rickles, Buddy Hackett And Jackie Vernon.
