My Rejection Of The Idea Of Entertainment In Its Current Form Is Based On The Audience That Comes With It.

I Reserve The Right To Tell Shaggy Dog Stories Or Even Common Jokes As Part Of What I'm Doing. I Don't Give A Damn If Half The Audience Walks Out.

My Mother Turned Into A Professional Widow. She Couldnt Understand Why I Wanted To Be An Engineer; She Thought I Should Be A Chicken Farmer.

I Tended To Emphasize The Secular, The Casual, The Colloquial, The Vernacular Against The Sacred.
