I have always been a huge admirer of my own work. I'm one of the funniest and most entertaining writers I know.
Tragedy is what happens to me; comedy is what happens to you.
If Shaw and Einstein couldn't beat death, what chance have I got? Practically none.
He who hesitates is poor.
I've always loved songwriting, and I vowed to be a songwriter like Cole Porter when I was only 9 years old.
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.
