I'm very open to the up-and-comers.

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.

I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.

Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.

People with a sense of humor tend to be less egocentric and more realistic in their view of the world and more humble in moments of success and less defeated in times of travail.

It's getting harder and harder to differentiate between schizophrenics and people talking on a cell phone. It still brings me up short to walk by somebody who appears to be talking to themselves.

I was never a Certified Public Accountant. I just had a degree in accounting. It would require passing a test, which I would not have been able to do.

I still feel thirty, except when I try to run.

Funny how "question" contains the word "quest" inside it, as though any small question asked is a journey through briars.

If you’re struggling to fit me into a box……. Then build a bigger box!

Not a game, not a game... practice.

Everything is unfolding perfectly. As this perfection unfolds, I learn and grow and become all I'm becoming.

You should never worry too much about achieving your goals, because in the long run you might not find yourself too happy when you get there.

When you're a black superhero you can't erase the notion that you're black.

Japan is dealing us a dead hand. For two years we have watched the Japanese drag their feet and we can't let them continue to slam the door in our faces.

Neil Young is my hero. You know what that guy has been doing for the past 40 years? Making music. That's what that guy does.

Devotion means your involvement with life is no more conditional.

I am no longer sure of anything. If I satiate my desires, I sin but I deliver myself from them; if I refuse to satisfy them, they infect the whole soul.
