In our racist, sexist society, Christmas is the 8 hours when we stop killing each other and gratuitous over eating is encouraged so that the starving and other people in the world can die!

I like fat people more then I like thin people, things are always a lot more funnier when they happen to fat people.

I'm from the '60s, but no one has ever accused me of being a hippie. I never had much interest in the Woodstock crowd, which partied to change the world, while real people were starving to death in Africa.

Comedy is not commercial; it is risky, because what is funny in one place isn't always funny somewhere else.

I don't make crappy movies. I spend two or three years making a film. I don't take myself seriously, but I take my movies very seriously.
