When I watch TV, I'm embarrassed by some of what's on.

I figure you're only here for a matter of moments. Ever since I was a kid watching movies I've always wanted to make people laugh or have some sort of emotional reaction.

The reason 'The Carol Burnett Show' did so well in the ratings is because people were looking for that comfort zone when the whole family sat around and watched television and enjoyed it.

My career is pretty much over. I'm out in the Valley eating soft-boiled eggs.

I spend a lot of time thinking of the Hereafter - each time I enter a room I wonder what I'm here after.

Don Knotts was a really big influence, especially on the Steve Allen show. I mean, look at the guy, his entire life is in his face.

It's hard to be sad when you're laughing, so I enjoy making people happy.
