...when you collaborate with someone else on something creative, you get to places that you would never get to on your own. The way an idea builds as it careens back and forth between good writers is so unpredictable. Sometimes it depends on people misunderstanding each other, and that's why I don't think there's any such thing as a mistake in the creative process. You never know where it might lead.

When we hold a World Championship for a particular sport, we invite teams from other countries to play as well.

Most of the bad taste I've been accused of has been generic bad taste; it's been making fun of an idea as opposed to a person.

I wish you wusses would stop whining about your unhappiness. I'm really fed up with it. Pour yourself a scotch and pull yourself together. Go out and shoot something!

I can do anything I want, I'm eccentric!

Bureaucrats shouldn't be in charge of comedy.

The writing is the most important bit, and performing it is just closing the circle because I'm less likely to screw it up than anyone else.
