I Can Sit All Day In A

I've Never Been Able To Tell Jokes. In The Beginning Of My Career I Did Impressions And Jokes Like Any Other Comedian, But I Was Never Very Successful Because I Did It Poorly. So I Started To Talk To The Audience And Started Talking About The Atmosphere Around Me And Started To Become Angry, Not In A Mean-spirited Way, But In A Fun Way - And My Attitude Developed From There.

I Was With George Washington At Valley Forge, Sitting Around Before An Attack... Gimme A Break. That's Over 70 Years Ago Already.

You Lose Your Energy, You Lose That Excitement And It Gets The Audience Up.

I Don't Do Impressions.

I Always Say That Comedians And Actors Were All Kind Of Shy When They Were Young. I Was Very, Believe It Or Not, Kind Of Embarrassed As A Child. But My Mother Was A Very Strong Lady And She Was The One That Kept It Going When I Thought It Would Be Over For Me As A Performer. She Was Always My Inspiration And She Was A Big Influence On Me.
