I think comedy is the most difficult thing in the world, I really do.
Sometimes it's blood memory... not the blood your mother and father gave you... but that which stretches back two or three thousand years.
What I do must be done in the sunlight of awareness.
The body is a sacred garment.
Pity is a corroding thing.
One can always lament, you know — but to laugh in the face of life, that's very hard. And for me the great tragedian should also be a great comedian.
