• They're taking shortcuts to get a big laugh instead of working for their audience. They can finish a show, hang up their tux and shirt, and put it up for next time. With mine, you have to wring out the sweat and send it to the cleaners. You gotta go out and work for your audience.

• Why quit? It's the only thing I know. Quitting is like hanging up your soul on the wall and closing the door on it.
