Acting's fine if the script's written by Paddy Chayefsky and Martin Scorsese directs it, but unless you have something like that, I don't really enjoy acting.
He was right. I could have brought the idea to a million other people, and we wouldn't be talking about a great show.
The only thing that I demand of the audience is that they listen to what I'm saying. Other than that, they owe me nothing. They don't owe me a thing.
I have the bigger iPad, but the Mini is the best. It just seems perfect. The old one seems so big and heavy. I like simple and clean.
I'm from Chicago and it's a huge influence on me.
I'm totally comfortable not being as funny as Larry David.
I don't think I'm ever going to retire from stand-up, but what I have retired from is working the road every week.
By the way, to perform in front of Don Rickles, it 's not nerve-wrecking. It 's enjoyable, i am enjoying Jeff Garlin. I hope I perform in front of Don Rickles every night of my life !
If you're gonna be a maniac, pyro's not a good maniac.
There's only one true superpower amongst human beings, and that is being funny. People treat you differently if you can make them laugh.
When you see a bad romantic comedy, you see the script, the director, and the actors trying to create this warmth and this pathos and this feeling that you care about them. That cannot be manufactured - it's either there or it isn't.
As an individual doing a podcast, you don't get even remotely rich. It's not something to do for money.
I hate cellphones. They are not for good, they're for evil. They're for gossip.
I never analyze stuff with comedy because it's boring. It makes you stop being funny. Just be who you are and do what you do, and you're either funny or you're not.
