The meek may inherit the earth, but they don't get in to Harvard.
On stage you're free. You can say and do things that if you said and did any place else, you'd be arrested.
My comedy is like emotional hang-gliding.
How much more can you give? Other than, literally, open-heart surgery onstage? Not much. But the only cure you have right now is the honesty of going, this is who you are. I know who I am.
Come on now! You kick out the gooks, the next thing you know, you have to kick out the chinks, the spicks, the spooks, the kikes and all that's going to be left is a couple of brain-dead rednecks.
People say satire is dead. It's not dead; it's alive and living in the White House.
A place where we all go can't be bad.
Make your life spectacular, I know I did.
The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but they're not. Ah, that's the good stuff!

I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you.
If you don't keep pushing the limits, you wake up one day and you're the "center square to block."
Dreams don't deal in time. Time doesn't count.
