The funnier the material, the funnier I could make it.

My nephews all look at me differently now. Before, they couldn't relate to me, and now I'm like a god.

Life has all sorts of hills and valleys, and sometimes you don't end up doing what you had your heart set out on, but sometimes that's even better.

Some of those STINKIN' press people just had to make fun of my decision in joining the show. They also made fun of other choices in my life that I was proud of then and still am now!!!

I got everybody on my side through comedy.

I really enjoyed doing the voice of Nose Marie on the cartoon series Pound Puppies. Fun, FUN cast.

The original Dean Martin Comedy Hour handed me some hysterical sketches. I've got highlights on tons of these variety shows, given to me by their great writers. I'd love to be doing all that again.

I created the characters from what I read in the script. I decided how I should talk, accent, no accent, my own voice, or a created voice. Then, I visualize what I should look like.

I really learned the power of the tube on Sesame Street and how it can influence a very young mind.

Its so very important as to what a child watches on TV. I feel for every parent that knows this, and cares, because they only have control of the childs viewing to a certain point.

I can laugh on cue, and it sounds real. People laugh with me.

We owe our future generations a nation full of united people.

Maybe that was what growing up was, understanding where the real magic lived in this world. Inside our very own hearts.

I call the language of political figures, pundits and administrators "the haute couture of language."

Life is something that has to be lived and not talked about.

"Don't talk about enlightenment," Buddha would say. He was saying don't talk about the nagual. He'd talk about how to get to it.

I feel as comfortable anywhere as I feel uncomfortable anywhere.

Speak your truth but soothe your words with peace

It is a most mortifying reflection for a man to consider what he has done, compared to what he might have done.

If you want to study the social and political history of modern nations, study hell.

My father was very musical, and music plays quite a large part in my life.
