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

I am a minimalist. I like saying the most with the least.

Well, my career choice made a difference because I never would have met my wife, Jenny. I met her through comedian Buddy Hackett. He set us up on a blind date and then we got married.

I love portraying the totally indifferent person.

I really don't know what makes a comedian. I think it's a family background and environment. Yet if you put the same ingredients in another person, he may never utter a funny line.

I don't know how many sacred cows there are today. I think there's a little confusion between humor and gross passing for humor. That's kind of regrettable.

The giant superstars are people whose talent is so enormous that their death wish can't destroy it.
