I have always grown from my problems and challenges, from the things that don't work out, that's when I've really learned.
there were times when I was more at home in front of millions of people than I was at home.
The audience is never wrong.
People invite me to dinner not because I can cook, but because I like to clean up. I get immediate gratification from windex. Yes, I do windows.
But I didn't ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn't even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh.
Comedy is tragedy plus time.
I don't have false teeth. Do you think I'd buy teeth like these?
I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me.
I think we're here for each other.
I liked myself better when I wasnt me.
My grandmother and I saw an average of eight movies a week, double features, second run.
I'm really not that funny in real life. But I am the best audience one could find. I love to laugh.
If you want to know the feeling [of labor pain], just take your bottom lip and pull it over your head.
I love the writing. I love the idea of typing and seeing it on the computer and printing it out myself and, you know, moving sentences around. I like that.
