I See The World As An Illusion,

I Just Want Real Reactions. I Want People To Laugh From The Gut, Be Sad From The Gut - Or Get Angry From The Gut.

I Never Told A Joke In My Life.

I Try To Please People, To Give Them A Good Time, But I Refuse To Make My Act Conform To Traditional Show-biz Standards Of Entertainment. There's A Little Voice That Says, 'oh, No, You Can't Do That, That's Breaking All The Rules.' That's The Voice Of Show Business. Then This Other Little Voice Says, 'try It.' And Most Of The Time, When The Voice Comes On And Says, 'no,' That's The Time It Works.

Pure Entertainment Is Not An Egotistical Lady Singing Boring Songs Onstage For Two Hours And People In Tuxes Clapping Whether They Like It Or Not. It's The Real Performers On The Street Who Can Hold People's Attention And Keep Them From Walking Away.

When You Go Through A Tunnel - You're Going On A Train - You Go Through A Tunnel, The Tunnel Is Dark, But You're Still Going Forward. Just Remember That. But If You're Not Going To Get Up On Stage For One Night Because You're Discouraged Or Something, Then The Train Is Going To Stop. Everytime You Get Up On Stage, If It's A Long Tunnel, It's Going To Take A Lot Of Times Of Going On Stage Before Things Get Bright Again. You Keep Going On Stage, You Go Forward. Every Night You Go On Stage.
