I think there's a part, just a part of comedians, that is still childlike.

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.

Stop talking about how you will build an empire, and start building it right at this very moment. Time never waits for anyone to feel perfectly ready.

Success is that old ABC-Ability Breaks and Courage.

Careers, like rockets, don't always take off on schedule. The key is to keep working the engines.

The outlook of the world today is for the greatest era of commercial expansion in history. The rest of the world will become better customers.

I'm a damaged person, but I have hope and a will to not give up.

Struggles only move forward when decent men and women step forward and say, 'enough is enough and no more.'

In the 1980s America reacted to the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. We supported a war that left a nation torn to pieces. And as the last Soviet tank left the country, so did we.

Theories are like patches on a coat, one day they just wear off.

I've always gotten along with guys better.

You have to have patience in this field.
