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

I was not only typecast as a Russian, but I was typecast as Yakov Smirnoff. This is understandable, and I was very happy to get the roles, but it would be nice to be in a movie where I could be someone else.

Falling in love is a chemical reaction. But it wears off in a year.

In Russia, if a male athelete loses he becomes a female athelete.

I believe that love and laughter can only happen when one person takes the time to think about what would cause the other person to feel good.

I found out that when you get married the man becomes the head of the house. And the woman becomes the neck, and she turns the head any way she wants to.

I fed my ego, but not my soul.
