• I think there's a great storytelling tradition in the restaurant business that tends to attract people with an oral tradition of bulls - ting and bollocking. Creative people, people for whom the 9-to-5 world is not attractive or impossible. It seems that way. There are a lot of stories in the business, and a lot of characters - and it seems to attract its share of artists and writers and people who hope to do something creative in their lives.

• Me dijeron que tenía que estudiar empresariales para triunfar. Lo intenté, pero al final lo dejé para montar un restaurante con una tarjeta Visa y una línea de crédito de 20.000 dólares. Todo el mundo me decía que los restaurantes eran un trabajo duro (¡y tenían razón!). Siento un gran respeto por quienes se dedican a la restauración). Dirigí el restaurante durante dos años, vendí una franquicia, decidí cambiar de rumbo y vendí todo el negocio con un modesto beneficio.

• In the clubs, the entertainment and the restaurant business are at war with each other. You get crowds that are not the greatest, and it becomes like a babysitting job, rather than doing what you want to do. I have a more deliberate pacing in my act, and having a half interested audience is death. They have to hear what I'm saying for it to pay off.
