I consider the television set as the American fireplace, around which the whole family will gather.

You know, last night it was so cold that my pillow and my sheets fought to see who got under the blankets first.

I personally believe that each of us was put here for a purpose -- to build not to destroy. If I can make people smile, then I have served my purpose for God.

I've put on a lot of weight... I only weighed six and a half pounds when I was born.

If I can make people smile, then I have served my purpose for God.

If by chance some day you're not feeling well and you should remember some silly thing I've said or done and it brings back a smile to your face or a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose as your clown has been fulfilled.

Mom used to say I didn't run away from home my destiny just caught up with me at an early age.
