Learn to trust yourself. That's very vital. ... Just stand with yourself. Remember, in his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only two paintings. I personally sold even fewer.

I hate movies. They're so boring. So tedious.

If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.

I'm not really a celebrity; I'm just vestigially left over from doing stuff from before.

I liked doing live things, and with the Circus we had a live audience.

I never pay any attention to figures.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will make me go in a corner and cry by myself for hours.
