The audience changes every night. You're the same person. You have to speak your mind and do the stuff that you think is funny and makes you laugh. |
Dick Gregory was a great comedian who went and got arrested, did hunger strikes, protests. It never hurt his career to be outspoken. |
That's my only goal. Surround myself with funny people, and make sure everyone has a good time and works hard. |
It never hurt Lenny Bruce's career to get arrested for swearing. It did back in the time, but he broke those doors down by doing the stuff that he believed in. |
People for the most part can smell lies. |
The only time I commit to conspiracy theories is when something way retarded happens. Like Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone. |

If someone plays a brooding actor in a film, people think they're brooding all the time. |
I don't care if you're gay, black, Chinese, straight. That means nothing to me. It's all an illusion. |
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. |
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. |
