I meet young comedians all the time, they just say

I just want to do colleges, I just play small clubs, I just play jazz menus

You should always try to find the topless audience you can

It's how you get better and what you do

You know when I was starting out the comedy down in Los Angeles

I personally asked for the toughest slot of the night

I wanted to follow Richard Pryor every night

because I knew that Richard blow the audience out, so they would be exhausted

and then I got up when I found out very quickly I didn't have 20 minutes

I had about six minutes

because that was the only stuff that was really funny

and I threw anything else out and built on that six minutes until you get better

Number 19

all manufacturing has a scrap rate

The more product you put out, the greater your chances of error

Accept criticism, resolved to do better

You know something, people say, I never read bad reviews. I always read bad reviews

you'll learn more from your critics than you will ever learn from your friends

And number 20, the last one remember

anybody can have a life

careers are hard to come by

So with that I say, Happy Mother's Day

And thank you so much for this great honor. Thank you
