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

Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end.

A great NOW will be a great WAS! A bad NOW will always be a bad WAS, and all you can hope for is a Great GONNA BE!

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.

Every language has its own music.

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.'
