From my standpoint, being an artist, I want to see what the new construction is between artist and audience.
A lot of comedies, I think, make the wrong choice of having the straight man being this bland emotional conduit for the audience.
I see my role in the Bonzos as being the straight man, in many ways.
It's the one with that panel of ultra-chichi folks. The one called 'What's My Line?' It sends me straight up the wall. I call it 'The Snob Family.'
You can't explain the feeling of singing hit songs to an audience - it's like being a genuine sports star at the peak of their powers.
I've been on big tours ever since I started, but you can't just go out there and headline, you have to do it right.
I fell off stage and bruised some ribs. The worst part was that the audience didn't realize I was gone.
I don't want to do material that I don't like. I've always stuck to that policy. If that means being out of work for awhile, that's fine with me.
My goal has always been to try to live up to every ounce of my potential. For me, that means working with the best people and working with the best material.
