I can't remember the last live-action, non-animated Christmas movie.

Comedians are never really on vacation because you're always at attention... that antenna is always out there.

I think you should be a child for as long as you can. I have been successful for 74 years being able to do that. Don't rush into adulthood, it isn't all that much fun.

I love portraying the totally indifferent person.

I'm most proud of the longevity of my marriage, my kids, and my grandchildren. If you don't have that, you really don't have very much.

The real lost souls don't wear their hair long and play guitars. They have crew cuts and trained minds, sign on for research in biological warfare, and don't give their parents a moment's worry.

If we know exactly where we're going, exactly how to get there, and exactly what we'll see along the way, we won't learn anything.

Bless everything in existence with your entire being and immediately you recognise your inner state of completeness and harmony.

Perceptibility is a kind of attentiveness.

If God is Trinity and Jesus is the face of God, then it is a benevolent universe. God is not someone to be afraid of, but is the Ground of Being and on our side.

Since it doesn't cost a dime to dream, you'll never shortchange yourself when you stretch your imagination.

Technology has outstripped our knowledge of self.

The interesting part about the writing process is that you can never see all the way to the end, not if something is happening over the course of a year and a half, or two years.
