Alan King, A Comedian I

My Main Success Was An Attitude. Always An Attitude.

Well, I Call Myself An Actor. I Always Wanted To Be One.

I'm Very Shy So I Became Very Outgoing To Protect My Shyness.

I've Never Been Able To Tell Jokes. In The Beginning Of My Career I Did Impressions And Jokes Like Any Other Comedian, But I Was Never Very Successful Because I Did It Poorly. So I Started To Talk To The Audience And Started Talking About The Atmosphere Around Me And Started To Become Angry, Not In A Mean-spirited Way, But In A Fun Way - And My Attitude Developed From There.

I've Got An Accountant Who's Been With Me Forty Years. If He Makes A Mistake, He Dies.
