I'm Very Open To The Up-and-comers.

Every New Routine I Have Ever Written And Performed Probably Occurred Extemporaneously. Then After You Have Fleshed It Out And Tried It Out In Front Of A Number Of Audiences And It Works, You Put It Down On Paper.

I Feel More Comfortable In Comedy.

It Was A Decision To Work Clean. I Just Prefer To Work That Way. I Have No Problem With Comedians Who Don't Work That Way. There Was A Temptation In The Early '70s To Reconsider. I Decided Against It.
