I Don't Need To Pat Myself On

I Don't Care About How I Look; I'm Dedicated To The Laughs. You Know, I Used To Be A Clown, So - My Name Was Smoothie The Clown. All The Training I Had, All My Training Is Geared Toward Making People Laugh, And I Didn't Care About Being Cool.

Only Way You Can You Get Upset Is When You Expecting Something.

I've Been In Training For Stardom.

I Was A Street Performer For Two Years.

I Became The Storyteller Of South Side Chicago. I Used An Old Kiwi Liquid Shoe Polish As A Microphone. I'd Go Around The House Interviewing Everybody, Telling Stupid Jokes, Doing Voices. I Mimicked Sidney Poitier, Sammy Davis Jr., People On 'laugh-in,' Flip Wilson.
