I failed to get into drama school, and my best friend told me I should do stand-up instead. I was always doing gags and voices, so he booked a gig for me without telling me. I only had four days to write it. I did a seven-minute set; the first four minutes were terrible, but the last two were amazing.

And the only studies were - Rodney Dangerfield was my mentor and he was my Yale drama school for comedy.

I started my business with my best friend from high school.

Tell me why you don't do it??
"I can't..." what you can't "... It's too far"... why??

(Sometimes you keep asking yourself why this friend don't stay out... he is going fast to home... but why and why??
Why he don't want to stay with his best friend, why?
So the school is important than friendship??
Why?
How?)...

When I was in high school in St. Louis my best friend was Marsha Mason. Marsha was a year ahead of me.

My best friend in medical school was a magician. And we were shown an X-ray of a sword-swallower, and I tried it and failed. Then I got a sword-swallower as a patient, and he taught me.
