When I open a refrigerator door and the light goes on, I want to perform.

I'm the only man in the world with a marriage licence made out to whom it may concern.

I don't regret anything I've ever done. I only wish I could have done more.

And that's the way I have always lived, for the laughs – today. N-O-W. No Other Way.

Meadowlark Lemon is one very clever man, unique and truly one of a kind.

Look, I come from vaudeville, I come from burlesque, I come from heartaches, I come from sadness, I come from gladness, I come from work and sweat and respect for the craft.

I keep going because if you stop, you stop. Why retire? Inspire.
