“Comedians are never really on vacation because you're always at attention... that antenna is always out there.”
“Funny is funny is funny.”
“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'.”
“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.”
“Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.”
“This stammer got me a home in Beverly Hills, and I'm not about to screw with it now.”
