In The 45 Years I've Worked In

I've Never Been Able To Tell Jokes. In The Beginning Of My Career I Did Impressions And Jokes Like Any Other Comedian, But I Was Never Very Successful Because I Did It Poorly. So I Started To Talk To The Audience And Started Talking About The Atmosphere Around Me And Started To Become Angry, Not In A Mean-spirited Way, But In A Fun Way - And My Attitude Developed From There.

You've Got To Be Able To Sell Yourself.

My Style Is My Personality. It's Always Been That Way. Being A Wiseguy And Having Fun. It's Always Been That Way For Me, When I Was In High School, And In The Navy. It's Not Something I Rehearse.

Everything I Do On Stage, I Made Up In Saloons. I Started Doing It In Front Of People, And That Became My Performance. I Never Had Writers.

It's Very Sweet To Have People Say Nice Things About You, And I Always Accept That.
