I don't believe in this business of being behind, better to be in front.

Hope for the Best. Expect the worst. Life is a play. We're unrehearsed.

Not only should we laugh about Hitler. We must laugh about him. Especially in Berlin.

We mock the things we are to be.

Feeling different, feeling alienated, feeling persecuted, feeling that the only way to deal with the world is to laugh - because if you don't laugh you're going to cry and never stop crying - that's probably what's responsible for the Jews having developed such a great sense of humor. The people who had the greatest reason to weep, learned more than anyone else how to laugh.

We want to get people laughing; we don't want to offend anybody.

If you're alive, make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death.
