I think, especially when you're in college, each book that you're reading tends to tell you who you are.
Whenever I realize I'm being a goofball, I write it down. When I release the joke onstage, I love watching the effect it has on the audience. No one wants to see someone talk who takes themselves too seriously.
It took me fifty years to deal with the Holocaust at all. And I did it in a literary way.
