If you go down as a comedian's comedian, that's basically meaning other comedians are hopefully feeling that you're doing okay.

Cats have a scam going - you buy the food, they eat the food, they go away; that's the deal.

I mean, sometimes... a comedian becomes an actor, and they just don't deliver, because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny, and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful, and they get that mixed up sometimes, or don't even notice that that's the thing.

If you've never seen an elephant ski, you've never been on acid.

I started out as a stand-up comedian. And that's what I'm most comfortable doing.

I use a Bruce Lee technique: 'The way of no way.' He had the idea that he would learn everything, so that whoever he had to fight, he could improvise anything. The best way of starting a gig is just to not think of anything - to clear your mind, not in an empty Zen state, but more just to go on and see where you go.
