"No." "To me, when you take a big chance is when you bring a posse of cowboys onto a sound stage where they're doing a gay Busby Berkeley dance number." "I saw that a few weeks ago and I thought:" ""The balls on this guy."" "Yeah." "Were you sure this was gonna work?" "No." "Whenever I lecture or teach or do anything I say, "It's gotta please you." "If you don't laugh, they won't laugh."" "Right." "I knew it tickled me."
