Why do all these people want [comedians] to be serious? The reason they want that is these are people who aren't funny. Anybody funny can be serious, but people who have no sense of humor, they can never be funny - and frankly, they're jealous. There's very few comic actors. Think about it. There aren't that many. It's hard because you have to be able to do both.
I would say if you are having a tough time in your life, then going to a club and getting laughs, it does make you feel better for that hour and a half show. It gets your mind off of it.
It's fun to do something funny and have the director laughing. It makes you feel good.
I would love to have a part opposite a great actor - like, say, Pacino or De Niro or Hoffman. And to work with a top director. That's my dream.
I don't want to talk about myself, that's for other people to say, so I'm not saying I was so talented.
At a certain point, if you work really hard and you get good and people like your work, you do deserve the fame - but you shouldn't take it for granted.
Some people, they got housing loans, and I think they're responsible for taking a loan they didn't qualify for?
Anybody can be going from being broke to being wealthy, as I did.
