You have to discover when you're inadequate to be funny and you don't know you're inadequate when you're a kid.

I gave a funny speech at my wife's birthday party, and I'm thinking, 'Hey, I've still got it.'

There's also a certain rhythm to the way Jews talk that might be funny.

The funniest racism is the racism between minorities. It's something you don't see dramatized, but almost every minority I know who's my age, they have these funny stories about their parents stereotyping other minorities.

Very often, I don't make it through moments of recording because it is genuinely funny and absolutely ridiculous that a 60-year-old grown man is making these noises.
