giving personality guy
The doc told me I had a dual personality. Then he lays an 82 dollar bill on me, so I give him 41 bucks and say, 'Get the other 41 bucks from the other guy.'
hate people hatred
People hate me because I am a multifaceted, talented, wealthy, internationally famous genius.
ownership share born
The day you're born, you get the pink slip on YOU. Outright ownership. You must only share that life with those that you and only you choose.
men comedy trouble
Comedy is a man in trouble. And without it, there's no humor.
baby thinking machines
A woman doing comedy doesn't offend me, but sets me back a bit. I, as a viewer, have trouble with it. I think of her as a producing machine that brings babies in the world.
kids paid
I get paid for what most kids get punished for.
years laughing alive
It'll keep you alive for another 10 years if you get yourself a laugh once a day: either provoke it, or look around in the wildest laboratory in the world, the public.
thinking laughing people
If you think childlike, you'll stay young. If you keep your energy going, and do everything with a little flair, you're gunna stay young. But most people do things without energy, and they atrophy their mind as well as their body. You have to think young, you have to laugh a lot, and you have to have good feelings for everyone in the world, because if you don't, it's going to come inside, your own poison, and it's over.
funny dream witty
Every man's dream is to be able to sink into the arms of a woman without also falling into her hands.
people eulogy want
People say, "How would you like to be remembered?" I don't want to be remembered. Gimme a break. What I want is to hear what's great about me now. Let me hear it! In the box you don't hear these eulogies.
fathers-day zoos kids
When I was a kid, I said to my father one afternoon, 'Daddy, will you take me to the zoo?' He answered, 'If the zoo wants you, let them come and get you',
needed
For those who understand, no explaination is needed...For those who don't, none will do.
idiot cool-funny great-success
I've had great success being a total idiot.
thinking might like-you
You might as well like yourself; just think about all the time you're gonna have to spend with you.
