James Lipton: The Most Pompous

Hopefully People Are Upset For The Reason I Want Them To Be Upset. Even When I Was Doing Open Mics, I've Always Had People Upset. I've Never Been The Consummate Crowd-pleaser.

[on The Dating Handbook] 'with A Telescope, Some Munchies, And A Warm Blanket, Watch For Halley's Comet.' Yeah. I Like That. There's No Time Limit. Just Sit There And Grow Old Together.

I Stand By Everything I Said. I Absolutely Can Defend My Material, And I Take Issue With People Who Say, "it's Just Shock Value. It's Not Even Funny." I Disagree. There's Different Ways To Be Funny And To Be A Comedian.

Hopefully People Will Be Reinventing Comedy Forever And Ever. This Is Just What I Do, And It's A Type Of Comedy.

Then I Will Tape The Sets And Even Though I`m Not Very Successful Sometimes I Will Try To Cut Out The Fat And Put The Jokes Closer Together.
