I am a clown, just without the painted smile.

I think the Clintons are brilliant. I've never met a person as intelligent as Bill, and I think Hillary is right up there with him. They're too smart for Washington.

I just went into this business for laughs. I guess I don't mind being an actor so much now.

You could knock my teeth out and break my nose, and there'd be something funny about it to me.

I made about 28 movies, and I think about five of them were good.

All my children inherited perfect pitch.

Television doesn't make stars. It's the written media, the press, that makes stars.
