If you are the greatest, why would you go around talking about it?- Joe Rogan
If someone plays a brooding actor in a film, people think they're brooding all the time.
I am a huge Groucho fan. There were some great comic minds that would transfer into any generation, and Groucho is certainly one of them.
I wouldn't totally rule out doing Letterman or the Tonight Show if I had a set that I just happened to write that I thought was funny but was still appropriate for network censors. But I am not going to go out of my way.
I talk so much about sex that girls just want to meet me.
I really never had any ambitions to be a standup comic. I was talked into it by guys that I used to work out with.
I had seen movies before that that had made me laugh, but I had never seen anything even remotely close to as funny as Richard Pryor was, just standing there talking.
I had a great time on News Radio, I got to make tons of money in relative obscurity and learn a lot about the TV biz and work on my standup act constantly. It was a dream gig.
I do not care if you are gay, black, Chinese, straight. That means nothing to me. It's all an illusion.
Have you ever talked to someone, and you are not even really talking to them? Actors are the worst for that.
Dick Gregory was a great comedian who went and got arrested, did hunger strikes, protests. It never hurt his career to be outspoken.
Comedy is really not like any other art form in that it's very specialized and varied in it's content, but generic in it's title.
Being a celebrity or anything else where you are really ambitious, it's really a game to see how successful you can get.
Because I have a girlfriend, I try and take the straight and narrow path, which is good because it prevents VD.
Apartment living is tough action. Just the whole idea that you share a washer and dryer always freaked me out.
