I don't paint every day. I'm not that motivated. I don't do anything the same every day.
From Jonathan Winters
I love improvisation. You can't blame it on the writers. You can't blame it on direction. You can't blame it on the camera guy... It's you. You're on. You've got to do it, and you either sink or swim with what you've got.
Something I'll always remember - when I was a kid, I shook hands with Orville Wright. Forty years later, I shook hands with Neil Armstrong. The guy that invented the airplane and the guy that walked on the moon. In a lifetime, that's kinda wild when you think about it.
My paintings and comedy have a lot in common. They are both improvisations based on observation.
I was always an observer, even as a child. I could be satisfied to sit in a car for 3 hours and just look at the street go by while my mother went shopping.
I started out as an artist, and what I do is verbal paintings. I paint a picture. Hopefully, you'll see the characters and what they're doing and what they're saying.
I don't do anything the same every day. Discipline is tough for a guy who is a rebel.
I find painting a much slower process than comedy, where you can go a mile a minute verbally and hope to God that some of the people out there understand you. I don't paint every day. I'm not that motivated.
I have never pretended to be any kind of super-religious kind of man, but I feel very strongly that you can be funny without being dirty.
You've got to be an observer. And you've got to take time to listen to people, talk, to watch what they do.
