There are a lot of questions I keep asking myself about why I do comedy. I guess I laugh to keep from crying. And I guess if you ever get me crying, I might not stop. This is the way I look at tragedy or else I'll cry.

I've been married forty-five years. I think laughter is the secret.

Comedians are never really on vacation because you're always at attention... that antenna is always out there.

I don't have a show anymore. I don't have a check coming in every week. This is important to me, I got to score a million tonight or it could all be over.

Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.

I was never a Certified Public Accountant. I just had a degree in accounting. It would require passing a test, which I would not have been able to do.

Women are more emotional. They do get flustered. Which is not to say that men are better than they. It's simply the way it is.
