As an entertainer, my job is to help people have fun.

I believe that as an entertainer, you're only as good as your audience and the people who support you.

I love that synergy between being entertainers and having people respond. There's no greater reward.

We are entertainers. We're trying to entertain people.

What I've always done as an entertainer is try to come up with things that people will find interesting, or compelling, or humorous.

The good and wonderful thing about my whole career is that I've always felt that the audience, if I do it well, will track wherever I go, whether it's President or a lawyer or bad guy or good. All I have to do is execute the material enough where they buy into it. I've had the great luxury of the audiences accepting that.

I love working with an audience. I love working with actual people who, you know, if they're moved, you see it. If you say something they're stunned by, you see their jaws drop. If they're amused, they laugh - that kind of reinforcement, I totally adore.

I see myself as an entertainer.

I can see that I give my audience something. I can see it in their eyes, and they say 'Thank you' a lot. You realize you are doing something that means something to people.

I am doing what I love to do, and you cannot beat that, especially when the audience appreciates what you prepare for them. It's very, very gratifying.
