- Chaos
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that clearly it has an influence, to be coming of age during the punk rock era, to come from a difficult and sporadically violent background, to have been in and out of such chaos, I think it actually helps. But I don't know for sure.
- Children
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I used to believe, like many people who come from poor backgrounds, that it gave me an edge, but I think that's just something we have to tell ourselves to get by sometimes. I don't believe that anymore. Children of privilege can be just as talented and clever as anybody else.

- Hate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Scotland is a much lighter and more fun place than I thought it was. I was miserable when I was there. But it wasn't Scotland's fault. It was my circumstances.

- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a terrible interviewer. I'm not a journalist - although I have a Peabody Award - and I'm not really a late-night host. What I am is honest.
- Important
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Is it really that important? It's just television, for God's sake. It's not medicine or something.
- Place

- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I came to America, and I made good. It's an old story, but it hasn't been told in a long time. Usually, it's, 'I'm an immigrant, I came here and got persecuted.' My story is I came here, I worked hard, and it worked out all right. So it's still available.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I always wanted to make motion pictures, ever since I was a wee boy, and I was 32, and time was marching on. I met a guy who said, 'Come out to Hollywood for 10 days, and I'll get you a deal.' So I figured, 'OK, 10 days.' On the 10th day, he got me a development deal with Disney, not for a lot of money, but it allowed me to make the move.
- Money
- |

- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I am reasonably happy. I didn't find Jesus or anything like that. Part of it is that I just feel that I could go home. I did not feel like that for a long time, but I could go back now.
- Drunk
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I went out on tour as Bing Hitler I would hook up with Lenny and we'd get drunk together. He was always very supportive. He was a big star and a lot of what he said to me had power and impact. Apart from that, I just like him.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Dawned

- Nov 07, 2020
I got sober. I stopped killing myself with alcohol. I began to think: 'Wait a minute - if I can stop doing this, what are the possibilities?' And slowly it dawned on me that it was maybe worth the risk.

- Joy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, comedy should have a certain amount of joy in it. It should be about attacking the powerful - the politicians, the Trumps, the blowhards - going after them. We shouldn't be attacking the vulnerable.
- Past
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think sometimes that people think brave means not being afraid, which of course it doesn't mean that at all. It means that you're afraid, but you move past that and do it anyway, do what you think is right.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been running my whole life. Running into bars, running around the world. But when you have a child, you can't run. That was a revelation.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just do my thing and try each show to be more honest about why I am and who I am. It's quite tricky and actually nerve-racking to do that. It's kind of a happy train wreck.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I used to psych myself up before the show and now I do the complete opposite: I psych myself down. It's 12:30 at night, you don't want some guy yelling at you. You want some guy just talking to you.
- Like

- Nov 07, 2020

- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's like, it's kind of like if you ever had a car and it was a bit of a clunker but you love it, that's my show. It's a bit of a clunker but I know where everything is and I like it.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A lot of people come to L.A. looking for something. What I came here for, I realize now, is to be okay with myself.
- Night
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Late night is no different than making a film, really, except that it's faster, and if you do a crap one, you can do a better one tomorrow. Writing a novel and doing stand-up - that stuff is very similar.
- Emails
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't get emails from my corporate overlords.
- Funny
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do a show. It comes on late at night on TV. And if that means I'm a late-night talk show host, then I guess I am, but in every other regard I resign my commission, I don't care for it.
- Feeling
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember talking to someone early on after I was sober about how I suddenly felt awkward at parties. They said, 'Well, you're supposed to. Everyone feels awkward at parties.' It's an appropriate feeling to feel.
- Cheney
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |

- Know
- |

It's very interesting to know what people are doing while you're working on late-night television.
