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.

When we could split the screen, it was like 'Wow!'.

When I did comedy I made fun of myself. If there was a buffoon, I played the buffoon.

People come up to me and they thank me: 'I thank you for the many, many hours of laughter.'

If you listen to a language for 15 minutes, you know the rhythm and song.

Jazz is a beautiful woman whose older brother is a policeman.

The best thing about humour is that it shows people they are not alone.

The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot. The guy who invented the other three, he was a genius.
