God is within you. God is a nice feeling. He's the flowers and smells and the nice things in life.

I wish I didn't have to perform 'Iron Man' every night.

My stay in Camp Betty was the longest I'd been without drink or drugs in my adult life. [...] At first, they put me in a room with a guy who owned a bowling alley, but he snored like an asthmatic horse, so I moved and ended up with a depressive mortician. [...] The mortician snored even louder than the bowling alley guy - he was like a moose with a tracheotomy.

My son Jack once said to me, 'Dad, do you think people are laughing with you or at you?' And I said, 'I don't care as long as they're laughing.'

My mother was an amateur singer, my father was an amateur drunk.

There are no incurable ills.

I feel joy when I do a great show.
