My parents never had any money. It was cash flow. It flows, and you got your fingers in it for a little while, and it flows away. That's all I know about money. And I don't know, it flows and it's a river, but you can never, ever keep it. As an artist, I can't keep it. But hey, a man who dies with a cent in the bank is a foolish man. So I guess I'm going against the conservators. I'm a spendthrift.

My whole thing is to entertain, make people laugh and to forget about the real world for awhile.

I could sell used battery acid and make it fly.

I'd make a bad preacher.

The entertainment business is not the be-all and end-all for me.

American Society for Psychical Research Journals were all around the house when I was a kid.

I've always been a big fan of science fiction and of the worlds of the spiritual and the mystic.
