I worked at a mortgage company, and after I left, most of the office went to jail.

Any kind of change in your life creates more material for me, because I say in my act 'It ain't comedy, it's my life.'

I started off doing impressions. It was a comfortable way to get started.

Just coming to L.A. to be a comic and an actor, it's not the kindest world to come to. There's a lot of rejection, which I'm not used to. I hate rejection, but it's about 90 percent of the business.

My family is trying to drag me kicking and screaming into the normal world. Please, I live in hotel rooms.

Opening for Mr. Sinatra in 1991 enabled me to do Vegas more as an opening act. I did the Superdome with him, probably nine arenas over a year and a half, and his second-to-last appearance at the Desert Inn in Vegas.

Hollywood has a lot of barriers set up for everyone. If you can live with it, and you can break through, then you're going to do OK.

In standup, you look for a common ground that people have.

I was a very bad accountant. I knew the book theory, but I didn't have the heart for it. I did it for six months, and my job was to distract the auditors with jokes.

I snagged the biggest bandwagon in history. Just when the buffet stuff was running out, now I'm the 'Seinfeld' guy. Somebody up there likes me. That's why I never worry. Something always comes up.
