I have about 1,000 hours of myself on tape in a vault in Los Angeles. But I also have a photographic memory about my jokes, because they're really about me; they're my stories.

I started a big part of my career in Vegas.

We were on welfare when we were kids. Thanks for reminding me of that.

I've been in Vegas. That's where you get into the money thing. Boy, you get greedy in Vegas, you know. That's the only place that you can bet $25, get it up to $500 and refuse to quit.

I grew up in a family in which political issues were often discussed, and debated intensely.

My family had been involved in gangs since the 1970s.

Family is the most important thing in life, period.

No matter how much wealth anybody has, family problems are about the same across the board.
