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.

If only my folks had beaten me, I could have gotten some material about my miserable childhood. But as it is, I've had a great life.

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.

I like to work a lot with wood. I make furniture that falls apart. I also sew.

Why do you do what you do? Why do you dress the way you dress?Why do you do what you do with your time? Why do you watch what you watch on TV or at the movies or on the computer? Do you have God-glorifying reasons for all of it?

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