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

I think you should be a child for as long as you can. I have been successful for 74 years being able to do that. Don't rush into adulthood, it isn't all that much fun.

I can't remember the last live-action, non-animated Christmas movie.

The best advice I could give someone trying to get into the comedy field is to take advantage of every opportunity you have to work to hone your skills.

I kind of do it in my head, then I'll try pieces of it on stage and if it looks promising, I'll put it together.

You never know when you'll come upon something and it's going to be fodder for new material.

One of the first things that you learn as a stand-up is, you're the boss. It's your stage, and don't screw with me because I'll make you look bad, which I had to do, because you wind up with drunks and loud people.
