Andy Kindler

Very unique: I was a singer-songwriter-guitarist. Very unusual in the late Seventies to find a singer-songwriter, and on top of that, a guitarist.

My favorite comedians are basically themselves onstage.

I don't hate Dane Cook, but I am trying to go after people I think are capable of more.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

A lot of people think I'm a comedian.

Political differences will always generate a healthy debate, but over time the dialogue has become more hateful and at times violent.
