I Don't Really Compartmentalize Well. I'm In

I Don't Seek Controversy. I Don't Seek To Antagonize. Sometimes It Happens, But I'm Not There To Argue Politics.

I Came Upon Whatever I'm Doing Organically. I Didn't Study Anything. I Don't Have Any Real Aspirations Other Than To Connect With Somebody, And To Have The Conversation Be Genuine. That's The Best That Can Happen. Even If It Only Happens For 10 Minutes In An Episode. But I Think What People Forget Is That You Don't Have To Try To Get A Comedian To Be Funny. Comedians Are Innately Funny. That The Real Challenge Of Talking To Them Is To Get Them Talking About Real Things And Then See Where They Need To Be Funny. And Let Them Do That On Their Own Volition.

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

I Remember Seeing Richard Pryor's First Movie; It Was A Midnight Movie When I Was In High School. I Must Have Been About Fifteen. It Was One Of The Most Cathartic Experiences Of My Life. I'd Never Laughed That Much.

Because We're Comics And We Pass Each Other On Campus, We Know Of Each Other, And A Lot Of The Time There's A Mutual Respect There.
