"The things I see now on TV and in movies are so outlandish. Kids doing rude things with pies! And the language that they use! It's being outrageous for the sake of being outrageous. I can't watch it. It turns me off."
"The trouble with telling a good story is that it invariably reminds the other fellow of a dull one."
"The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot. The guy who invented the other three, he was a genius."
"Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end."
"Everybody wants to have a goal - I gotta get to that goal, I gotta get to that goal, I gotta get to that goal. I can finally get to that goal. Then you get to that goal, and then you gotta get to another goal. But in between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed - and if you don't, you're a fool."
