“I was one of the first veejays to take the camera out on location, and that's what was unique about MTV at that time.”
“I never made the movies for the critics; I've done the best I could with the material and the directors and the actors I had. But the thing that's really exciting is that once I do that one project that's different, that stands out, everyone's gonna be watching.”
“Serious and intense people, they drain you. But someone who's an idiot, like myself, they're fun. You either hate me or you love me.”
“I think you gotta look at stuff half-full as opposed to half-empty.”
“I'm Jewish. I've always had a thing where it's okay to dance with the devil, just don't become the devil. Even at my peak, I never went too over the top.”
“The best comedy to me - and again, I grew up with comedy since I was a baby, so I've seen it all - is when you exaggerate the truth, like Richard Pryor did, you understand?”
“I want to show all sides of myself. I mean, I don't want to howl at the moon my whole life, you know?”
“I'm not used to getting good reviews.”
“We all have a past; it's just that my past is out there for all to see.”
“The best part about stand-up is that you control everything. Period.”
“I think the best comedy comes from stuff that's based in reality.”
“I fly around with chicks on each arm and have no script. I just talk about what I feel like. But that's why my act works: I'm like this normal guy.”
“When you're a kid, all you really care about are Slurpees and Slip N Slide and riding your bike, and that's what I did.”
“My mom and dad are both in stand-up comedy, so that's where I started, that's where I got everything. My roots are holding the mic.”
“People should stop poking fun at other people and worry about themselves.”
“My mom is two people to me. She's my mom number one, and then she's this lady most comedians know as being a legendary owner of a nightclub that's responsible for starting a lot of heavy careers.”
“Death isn't a funny thing. We're all lucky to be living.”
“It's in my blood to tour. It's in my blood to get on the road. It's in my blood to go onstage.”
“When you put yourself out into the world and say, 'Hey, look at me,' you're going to get criticized.”
“I'm definitely a lot more comfortable now in my 40s than in my 30s - that's for sure.”
