I have some very personal feelings about politics, but I don't get into it because I do comedy already.

(The Nutty Professor) was a labor of love. It was a total film. It was the most productive, creative work of my life.

Every man's dream is to be able to sink into the arms of a woman without also falling into her hands.

I really am opinionated, but not for long. I have found myself coming off of what I think of something because the guy I'm talking to makes better sense than I am. I have so many points of view, I can't keep track of 'em, because I talk to too many people... I'm not so opinionated that I won't budge.

The day you're born, you get the pink slip on YOU. Outright ownership. You must only share that life with those that you and only you choose.

It'll keep you alive for another 10 years if you get yourself a laugh once a day: either provoke it, or look around in the wildest laboratory in the world, the public.

Comedy is a man in trouble. And without it, there's no humor.
