Ray Romano

Whenever I walk off the golf course, I thank God that I'm able to tell a joke. I thank God I'm good at something.

In school, I wasn't a very good student - I was very irresponsible and never did the studying but always liked to get the laugh.

When you go to standup, there seems to be a common denominator of some form of need or want for validation from the audience that maybe you were lacking as a kid.

My standup is observational, but it's self-observational, and it's self-deprecating, definitely.

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