In Russia we only had two TV channels. Channel One was propaganda. Channel Two consisted of a KGB officer telling you: Turn back at once to Channel One.

Everybody laughs the same in every language because laughter is a universal connection.

I like American women. They do things sexually Russian girls never dream of doing - like showering.

If love is the treasure, laughter is the key.

I came to America to make it my home, and I did.

My father described this tall lady who stands in the middle of the New York harbor, holding high a torch to welcome people seeking freedom in America. I instantly fell in love.

In today's society we sometimes forget to balance our hearts and our heads; this is the reason we stop laughing.
