The joy of the roasts is to watch people get hurt and offended, and then have to laugh to pretend they're a good sport.
I'm used to explaining to people why my jokes were funny.
R2D2 has gotten more work since “Star Wars” than Carrie Fisher
Well, I play Jews and parrots. Parrots are how I've branched out.
What do Japanese Jews love to eat? Hebrew National Tsunami.
You never know what people will choose to be offended by.
Any misfortune that happens to another person is funny. If it happens to someone else and not me, it's very funny.
I understand being less sexy than Osama bin Laden, but not less sexy than Carrot Top. That, I find offensive.
I'd like to have a kid, but I'd probably get a Frank Sinatra Jr. instead of a Gilbert Gottfried Jr. I'd totally screw up like that.
I'd make Jack Benny look like a philanthropist.
I'm a very anti-vacation person. Because I'm always getting on planes for work, to me, a vacation is when I don't have to get on a plane.
I've never been one of those who wanted to fill my calendar up 90 percent of the time.
I remember being at the premiere of 'Beverly Hills Cop II' and the tremendous reaction from the crowd outside, then going to a party at a hotel afterwards where the speakers were blasting 'Shakedown,' a song from the movie. That felt like a show biz moment to me.
I used to go to the Improvisation Comedy Club every night in Times Square. How I didn't get killed in that area either means that 1) God is watching over me or 2) I am so insignificant to God that he didn't bother having me killed.
