Jerry Seinfeld

Forty to 60 I would say is your prime. That's when you know the most, you've seen the most, you understand the most, and you still have some physical energy.

Being a stand-up is my mission in life; it's my passion. My ongoing goal is to simply be funny, on my own, in front of a roomful of strangers.

The greatest thing about being a comedian is knowing other comedians. And you get to talk to them. Its the most fun.

I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.
