I'm still a horse that can run. I may not be able to win the Derby, but what do you do when you retire? People retire and they vegetate. They go away and they dry up.

Immortality is a by-product of good work. Masterpieces are not for artists, they're for critics. Critics can't even make music by rubbing their back legs together. My message to the world is 'Let's swing, sing, shout, make noise! Let's not mimic death before our time comes! Let's be wet and noisy!'

Humor keeps the elderly rolling along, singing a song. When you laugh, its an involuntary explosion of the lungs. The lungs need to replenish themselves with oxygen. So you laugh, you breathe, the blood runs, and everything is circulating. If you dont laugh, youll die.

Judd Apatow is pretty good, both as a producer and as a director.

I wanted to entertain so badly that I kept at it until I was good. I just browbeat my way into show business.

I'm married to a beautiful and talented woman who can lift your spirits just by looking at you.

You cannot have fun with anything that you don't love or admire or respect.
