Jerry Before Seinfeld

Jerry Seinfeld: I was SO nervous that night, because I was showing them this whole side of myself. It was like my little gay closet moment, ya know, where I had to say, "Mom, dad, I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm a funny person. And, uh, I don't wanna be ashamed of it any more, and I wanna lead a funny life style, now. I wanna be with other funny people, I wanna have breakfast at two in the afternoon."

Jerry Seinfeld: And the other thing was meeting girls - in the bar, out there. That was a new thing, to, because comedians sometimes have a little difficulty in normal social situations. I can do THIS, for some reason. And I always felt comfortable doing what I'm doing right now. I can talk to all of YOU, but I can't talk to ANY of you.
