I don't remember a time when I wasn't waiting for a scab either to grow or to fall off my knee.
I couldn't get the laughter out of my head. It wasn't career. It wasn't even a choice. It was a calling.
But I don't begrudge anybody, because I know how hard it is to have that dream and to make it happen, whether or not it's just to put a roof over your head and food on the table.
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.
