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

I've never really taken anything very seriously. I enjoy life because I enjoy making other people enjoy it.

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?
