When I first went to Vegas, there were just high-rollers and gamblers and the wise guys treated you great.
years comedian
It takes many years to be a great comedian.
weakness situation jokes
I don't really tell a joke, I react to situations. The whole thing is just looking at somebody and showing all our weaknesses and exaggerating them, and that's how it becomes funny.
glory
I never went out looking for glory.
believe guy personality
I've never had guys sit me down and say this is what you've got to do. It's my personality that makes me one of a kind, and I believe that.
night years ideas
When you do see me, you'll get the idea from when you see me that it's all off the top of my head. A lot of it is a beginning, middle and the end. But it's different every night. I have a lot of jokes in my back pocket I've said over the years.

I was nice to the people in the Philippines for the two and a half years I was there, because I knew eventually I'd have to kiss up to them so my grandchildren could have toys.

I would describe myself as a guy that's very normal but has the tendency to rib people, but never in a mean-spirited way.
being-yourself mean sense-of-humor
Women were afraid of me, they were scared to death. But I always say be yourself, if you're funny then let your sense of humor go there. I mean there's no sense hiding what you feel.

Sex is great, but when you get to be my age, you've got to pace it a little bit. Otherwise you get tired.
