I've always been very averse to innuendo, especially sexual. I find it cowardly or something.

I guess [Richard] Pryor was that good. I never saw him in a theater, but I imagine he was that good, because he was such a phenomenal actor.

I don't care for sex. I find it an embarrassing, dull exercise. I prefer sports, where you can win.

Your worst and most dangerous enemy is the person that injures you under the pretensions of friendship.

The only two TV shows I saw do that, where they don't warm them up and you can really bomb, was Saturday Night Live - and that's why it gets a lot of heat, too. Obviously it gets criticism fairly, too. But a lot of it is because Lorne [Michaels] lets the audience decide and doesn't force them to laugh.

My dad had this thing - everyone in Canada wants to play hockey; that's all they want to do. So when I was a kid, whenever we skated my dad would not let us on the ice without hockey sticks, because of this insane fear we would become figure skaters!

If you watch that show and you didn't know it was called Seinfeld, you'd think it was called 'The George Costanza Show'.
