I just get such a connection from an audience. You play with them. I get mad at them. I yell at them. They yell at me. It's just fun.
From Joan Rivers
Trust me, there's not one night a week I'm not in a theater somewhere. I adore theater, and I go out with friends, so I do have some nights off.
Comedy is a very rough beat. It's no holds barred, as it should be.
I made so many jokes about poor Russell Crowe, he once knocked on my dressing room door, and told me he wanted to go out on this chat show we were on to laugh with me. Now he's ruined it. I can't make another joke about him.
I'm always shocked when I get an invitation. People are always shocked when they see me at a party.
I've always been salaried; I've never owned anything. I've done very well, lived very well.
I could pull my living in and live OK, but I don't want to live OK. I'm very happy to live in my penthouse, very happy I can pick up a check, very happy to have a great life and be able to spread my wealth a little bit.
We don't apologize for a joke. We are comics. We are here to make you laugh. If you don't get it, then don't watch us.
You hear things about certain people. When you hear someone was mean to a limo driver or a wardrobe lady, or someone was rotten to a fan, somewhere in your brain it gets stuck.
I never dwell on what happened. You can't change it. Move forward. Don't waste your energy on being angry at something that somebody did six months ago or a year ago. It's over. Done. Move forward.
