Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end.
Every language has its own music.
When I did comedy I made fun of myself. If there was a buffoon, I played the buffoon.
If I don't believe it, I don't care.
People come up to me and they thank me: 'I thank you for the many, many hours of laughter.'
The things I see now on TV and in movies are so outlandish. Kids doing rude things with pies! And the language that they use! It's being outrageous for the sake of being outrageous. I can't watch it. It turns me off.
