There's gratification in making somebody laugh. It's a wonderful sound. I find myself, to this day, doing it, wanting to make people laugh.

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

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

I gave up accounting. I went in for about six months writing ad copy. I was fired from that, and then another guy and I did a kind of poor man's Bob and Ray kind of syndicated radio show. Then I decided to stick it out and see what happened. I'd give it a year, a year became two years, and then two years became three years, and then along came the record album.

Humor's a weapon if you want to make it one.

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

A collison is what happens when two motorists go after the same pedestrian.
