The Marines was a fresh start - that is why they shave your head. I wish they would let you change your name.

When I did Comic Relief, I did it to be on the show; it's a badge of honor as a comedian to do that show.

Even when people are rich and successful on TV shows, there's always some trouble - you have to poke holes in them, throw them out of a job, put a pie in the face.

Learn how to set goals. That's the key to everything. That includes designing your own success. You define what the goal is, it's not somebody else's goal, it's yours.

Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called everybody, and they meet at the bar.

Meet this transient world with neither grasping nor fear, trust the unfolding of life, and you will attain true serenity.

Achieve order within yourself...an inward tranquility which knows no disturbance at any moment...in the daily life of the home and the office.

My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references; it was all about being naive.

I spent 26 years in the business without ever knowing what I was doing a month from now.

The men in Vietnam weren't allowed to fight the war with any kind of concern to win by the government. It was like a war of attrition.
