I like real girls. When they’re in bed with you, it’s not a show. They just want to do that.
I always just loved women, but more important than loving women, more important than sexual stuff, is I always believed in romance.
There are very few comics that understand about exciting the crowd, and that’s what I always prided myself on: giving a more confident macho attitude towards delivering material.
I want to be able to make people laugh as hard as they possibly can, and I really think they need that.
I’ve been getting in trouble my whole life and I really don’t care what anybody thinks of what I do on stage as a comic.
Comics, a lot of them, are really depressed people, and I happen to be somebody that does have a lot of confidence. That’s the odd thing about my stand-up. I am very confident. I always was.
I never go see a comic. The only one I’d ever really want to see is Don Rickles. He might be 80 years old, but he blows everyone out of the water.
I might do cartoonish sexual jokes, but it’s my way of saying what’s going on in the world. How people are animals, really.
I just love the whole art form of acting, of being in front of a camera and playing different things. Not that I would ever say I’m the greatest actor in the world, but I am capable of playing different kinds of roles that emotionally I could get into.
I like when something makes you think after you stop watching.
Comics, as good as they might be, they didn’t know much about performance. There aren’t too many comics you could watch for an hour without getting tired. They might have good material, but it’s about theater to me.
You walk into my bedroom at night, it looks like a nightclub. There’s all kinds of lighting effects, there’s all kinds of music. I want them to feel like they’re in for a show. I believe in romance.
I’ve always had my voice as a comic. I was never that into politics, or prop comedy.
I loved my family so much when I was growing up, my parents, my sister. I wanted to be able to give them everything they ever dreamed of.
As long as you can walk the street and you know there’s a tomorrow, there’s always that chance. That’s how I’ve always been. I’ve always had complete belief that I would make something out of myself again, because to me, it’s always been about accomplishment.
Being onstage and performing, the high of that, and people coming to see you, and getting to make them laugh – that’s what gets me hyped up. It’s a nervous excitement.
When I do any stand-up, you’re the writer, director, and producer. You’re alone.
I just like to make people laugh.
I always believed you could fix whatever problems.
I’m a Brooklyn guy onstage, and I try to really feed my fans with the kind of material they expect from me.
