Lenny Bruce is a very moral man trying to improve the world and trying to make audiences think.

Any comic like myself owes everything he has to Lenny Bruce. He was the originator. The godfather of uncensored American stand-up is clearly Lenny Bruce.

I mean, I was always interested in people like Lenny Bruce, people who are breaking the old rules and making new ones.

I would be terrified if Bill Maher was like, 'Hey, do you want to come on the show?' I would be like, 'Oh, God.' It would completely terrify me, even though I'm such a junkie for the show.

When I was 16 or 17, I saw Lenny Bruce being taken to jail. They took him off stage because he talked about race.

I don't want to be remembered as 'the son of Bruce Lee'.

Bruce is the man. He was definitely ahead of his time.

There was a time I could have been mistaken for Burt Reynolds. I had a moustache and so did he. But he was the number one star in the world, so there wasn't really much confusion.

I was also a big Woody Allen fan. When I got into college I listened to Lenny Bruce but it's taken me years to put him into context historically and really get what he did.

My god-father, Bob Wall, was in a couple of Bruce Lee movies, and he trained Bruce Lee when he came to America.
