Come down off the cross, we could use the wood.

I've lost my equilibrium, my car keys, and my pride.

Mostly I straddle reality and the imagination. My reality needs imagination like a bulb needs a socket. My imagination needs reality like a blind man needs a cane.

Never have your wallet with you onstage. It's bad luck. You shouldn't play the piano with money in your pocket. Play like you need the money.

Living with kids is like living with a bunch of drunks. You know you really have to be on your toes all the time. Things are falling over and breaking and spilling. If you live on the second story, you really have to keep the windows shut all the time.

You hope people are going to be listening to you after you're gone. And they like you better after you're gone.

I’ve always believed that the way you affect your audience is more important than how many of them are there.
