Well, I think one of the reasons Chicago became so popular as a filmmaker location is because New York had been used so many times that Chicago, I think, was rediscovered maybe in the late '60s, early '70s for a long time as a new location.

New York for a long time was a kind of conductor's graveyard.

I think everything should be in verse. 'The New York Times' should be in verse.

To be No. 1 on the 'New York Times' best-seller list, well, that's alarming. Having been a stand-up comedian, I think it's surprising to a lot of people that I had the insight I had.

And when I first came out from New York, I hadn't driven in a long time. Now I'm like Joe Speedster.

If you live in a city like Chicago, New York, San Francisco or Austin, this is not the last time you're going to see us. Though this is the last time we're going to get in a van in August and get out of the van in December. This is the last time everyone quits their jobs and does the whole shebang.
