There's no such thing as too far. If it works it's funny, if it doesn't work it's too far, it's stupid. Really there's no such thing as "too far." You're joining the politically correct when you use words like "too far." You don't want to join the army of politically correct.

I'm always stunned when I find out people like Roosevelt and Tolstoy weren't Jewish. How could I love them so much?

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

Well, just being stupid and politically incorrect doesn't work. You can be politically incorrect if you're smart.

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

Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive.

It would be hypocritical of me to take issue with anything in questionable taste, seeing that I invented bad taste in films.
