I think America, unfortunately, collectively thinks of itself as the 'chosen people.' To my knowledge, there are no chosen people, we are all human beings.

I wanted to meet Bob Hope, and I got to know him pretty well.

I was the laziest white kid my dad ever met.

We had a Judeo-Christian ethic hanging around a couple thousand years that didn't help erase racism at all. So the notion of the little half-hour comedy changing things is something I think is silly.

Ed Simmons and I became stars in the emerging medium of television. We were new and fresh, just like TV at the time, so we automatically became 'THE' comedy writers for television.

I think what's dangerous is 24 hours a day, 335 channels, or whatever the hell there is. Too much is too much.

Success is how you collect your minutes.
