If you have no tragedy, you have no comedy. Crying and laughing are the same emotion. If you laugh too hard, you cry. And vice versa.
The trouble with telling a good story is that it invariably reminds the other fellow of a dull one.
People come up to me and they thank me: 'I thank you for the many, many hours of laughter.'
If you can't stand yourself, neither can anybody else!
The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot. The guy who invented the other three, he was a genius.
Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end.
In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.
