Even though my father was a radio comedian, it wasn't cool to say, at a young age, 'I want to be a comedian.'
Well, what do you expect? The Comedian is dead.
I used to think of myself as a comedian. I've always admired comedians. Their minds, the way in which they se the world is so striking, the way they juxtapose things, the way they can see humor in people. There's a liberation in that.
Being a comedian, you're under pressure. You have to deal with stress and pressure to perform - to deal with pressure without stress.
I do feel good doing them [family-friendly movies], but it's not going to be my way of life. I'm a comedian.
I still like doing stand-up now, but it's not the same. It used to be that I was out there with five other comedians. Now I usually just do it alone.
I'm a comedian, not a politician.
No, I had not read any other comedian's book. Not that I don't enjoy other comedians; I'm just not a reader.
I think politicians and comedians have a lot in common. One is a group of approval-seeking narcissists who will say and do anything to be liked... and comedians are always talking about politics.
