agree assure believe people president press speak
I believe that we're doing the right thing. The press doesn't agree with the president on these things. The people I speak to assure me he is doing the right thing.

I've known that guy for over 10 years, and he's been stealing jokes and denying it from Day One, ... Joke thieves are a huge problem in the stand-up comedy community, and every now and then one of them becomes successful. That's what you're looking at here with 'Carlos.'

thinking height
I'm afraid of heights. Not unreasonably, but rationally afraid of heights. I think everyone is.
annoyed trying annoying
The misconception is that standup comics are always on. I don't know any really funny comics that are annoying and constantly trying to be funny all the time.

You could smell my ass from mars.
fall people
People love to see people fall.
sports wrestling boxing
There's a confidence and a mental toughness that comes from the very highest level of competition, whatever the sport is. Whether it's boxing or wrestling, or whatever.
thinking people my-friends
I really never thought people would think that I was funny, I thought (my friends) thought I was funny because I was their friend, but other people would just think I was an asshole. I was at least partly right.
thinking would-be crowds
If I could make the same amount of money doing standup it would be no contest. The problem is that if you do make that kind of money doing standup, it's not in clubs, it's in big auditoriums and large venues, and I really think something is lost when you do standup for a big crowd.
art skills two
The two things I understand best are stand-up comedy and martial arts. And those things require an ultimate grasp of the truth. You have to be objective about your skills and abilities to compete in both.
laughing want compromise
I never want to compromise my act just to get a laugh.
believe people upset
I have this thing built into my contract that the club has to put up a sign that says my act "contains the strongest language and material content imaginable," but, believe it or not, I still get complaints. People want you to be what they want you to be. If they see you on TV and that's what they like, they want you to be EXACTLY like that when they see you live. And if you're not, some of them get upset.
