When I started, you didn't make a lot of money by being a comedian. You didn't get a lot of respect.
Your relationship with an agent has got to be mutually beneficial. If you can't help their careers, then they're not going to be interested.
I used to have a theory actually that, if you've had a good childhood, a good marriage and a little bit of money in the bank, you're going to make a lousy comedian.
I don't really dissect comedy. Nothing kills off humor more than overanalyzing it.
