I guess happiness is not a state you want to be in all the time.

I give so much pleasure to so many people. Why can I not get some pleasure for myself?

It's all false pressure; you put the heat on yourself, you get it from the networks and record companies and movie studios. You put more pressure on yourself to make everything that much harder.

Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Some comedians love their characters. I don't fall in love with mine. In fact, I get tired of them very fast. You have to be willing to throw it all away.

In your 20s, you feel like you're indestructible...In your 30s, you think...I'll be around here a little longer, so I'm going to take better care of myself.

We’re on a mission from God.
