If you don't have the right people around you and you're moving at a million miles an hour you can lose yourself.

You've got to say 'yes' to your destiny. Life's happening right now, look around you. There goes some life. Come on, Mamma, live!

I love the fact that I have a show where you can run over a kid and everyone busts out laughing.

I support anyone's right to be who they want to be. My question is: to what extent do I have to participate in your self-image?

I want to tell my jokes. I want to have time with my children. I want to entertain people. And at one point, I'll walk away from show business. But I don't want to walk away empty-handed.

Most of the people around me have a vested interest in how much money I make. You know, so a celebrity could find themselves in a position where people could have meetings about their life without them involved. And when I say "their life" I mean not their professional life either. They could talk about their personal life.

The world can't tell you who you are. You've just got to figure out who you are and be there, for better or worse.
