I know how to make it a great musical. I've got to. It's like I've got to see it on stage.

Dom DeLuise was a big man in every way. He was big in size and created big laughter and joy.

The audience got jaded, they want a hit, they want a big success, and so you don't want to experiment because you say, well, I'll disappoint the audience, they may not like it, I better do something that I think is more commercial.

Don’t be stupid, be a smarty / Come and join the Nazi Party!

Tragedy is what happens to me; comedy is what happens to you.

All right, I am often brash, rude and brutally direct. Someday I'm going to die and I don't have time to toe-dance around the periphery of hatred.

I only direct in self-defense.
