I have an ego like anybody else, but I don't need to be stoked by going before the public all the time.

As for being sociable, I hate the phoniness in the showbiz world. I know this will be taken wrong, but I don't like clubs and organizations. I was never a joiner.

I wouldn't have the slightest interest in running for public office. I'd rather make jokes about politicians than become one of them.

The good news is that the president gets another chance. The bad news is that he'll be two weeks older.

It's silly to have as one's sole object in life just making money, accumulating wealth. I work because I enjoy what I'm doing, and the fact that I make money at it - big money - is a fine-and-dandy side fact. Money gives me just one big thing that's really important, and that's the freedom of not having to worry about money. I'm concerned about values - moral, ethical, human values - my own, other people's, the country's, the world's values. Having money now gives me the freedom to worry about the things that really matter.

If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace.

We're more effective than birth control pills.
