After all those years of doing a live, hour-and-a-half show every week, I've got nothing more I need to prove.

If you have no tragedy, you have no comedy. Crying and laughing are the same emotion. If you laugh too hard, you cry. And vice versa.

When I did comedy I made fun of myself. If there was a buffoon, I played the buffoon. And people looked at me and said, "Gee, that's like Uncle David", or "That's like a friend of mine.". And they related through that. I didn't make fun of them. I made fun of me.

The best thing about humour is that it shows people they are not alone.

Jazz is a beautiful woman whose older brother is a policeman.

In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.

People come up to me and they thank me: 'I thank you for the many, many hours of laughter.'
