I Never Could Tell A Joke. I

You've Got To Be Able To Sell Yourself.

My Style Is My Personality. It's Always Been That Way. Being A Wiseguy And Having Fun. It's Always Been That Way For Me, When I Was In High School, And In The Navy. It's Not Something I Rehearse.

I Was Nice To The People In The Philippines For The Two And A Half Years I Was There, Because I Knew Even­tually I'd Have To Kiss Up To Them So My Grandchildren Could Have Toys.

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've Never Walked Off Stage And Said, I Shouldn't Have Done That. Because When You Do What I Do, You're Like A Fighter. You Throw The Right Hand And Say, That's What Got Me To This Dance. You Can't Have Doubt. If You Have Doubt, There's No Show.
