I have about 1,000 hours of myself on tape in a vault in Los Angeles. But I also have a photographic memory about my jokes, because they're really about me; they're my stories.
From Louie Anderson
When I say, 'I can't stay long, I'm in-between meals,' that plays differently on the radio than it does in person. So I have to pick material that works because the words are funny, not just because of the images.
Well, isn't every successful person in every family the bankbook?
I was 10th of 11 kids in an alcoholic, abusive, poor family. We all want things that we can't have. And I found comedy.
I would trade everything I have to have had a happier childhood.
I was kind of a Rickles comic to begin with. I was caustic, and I was abusive and mean to the audience.
