A biggest mistake I made when I started doing a talk show was I thought you had to read the books.

It's no fun being a specimen.

The emotions in all true anxiety dreams are next to unbearable.

Great humorists are great insulters.

To label me an intellectual is a misunderstanding of what that is.

I'm sure I've all but lost friends by maintaining that, despite their love for it, I always saw Stanley Kramer's 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World' as more of an exercise in anti-comedy than humor.

Every comic can report a few 'gift from the gods' moments.
