He talked about how he performed to a beat, and he knew precisely what word to put where in the structure for proper effect. He was very much like a jazz musician, and directly influenced by them.

Practice. Hard work. Repetition. Honing, fine-tuning, revising, rehearsing, reassessing, rejecting, refining. Hour after hour. Day after day. Every week of every month of every year. I sure couldn't do it. I'd love to be a famous comedian, or musician, but I don't have the kind of focus and sense of purpose that they require. Carlin sure did, thank goodness for us. His ability to deliver…

That’s practice, baby. Practice.

Hard work. Repetition. Honing, fine-tuning, revising, rehearsing, reassessing, rejecting, refining.

Hour after hour. Day after day. Every week of every month of every year.

Carlin sure did, thank goodness for us.

If honesty were suddenly introduced into American life, the whole system would collapse.

I know he had like 50 yrs of practice, but just try to repeat "<i>quality, value, style</i>... to... <i>no payments 'til September</i>" It's more than 7 words.
