But I really believe that if you have the ability, there is an obligation to make people laugh

I wasn't much good. When I went into the line on a fake - I would holler 'I don't have it!'

Television series are like the stock market. There's room for bears and bulls but no room for pigs.

You shouldn't get too close to the truth, because then maybe you stop being funny.

I'm very open to the up-and-comers.

It's getting harder and harder to differentiate between schizophrenics and people talking on a cell phone. It still brings me up short to walk by somebody who appears to be talking to themselves.
