So I think if you’re happy with your brain, you’re powerful.
If you want to be a writer, just write. There’s no magic to it.
Relaxation is the absence of worry.
You make friends with older people and you always feel young no matter what.
I don’t know that I can define fear. But one of the sources of fear is holding up some sort of model life that doesn’t exist and feeling like you’re far away from it.
I don’t want to get close to people who have secrets that I don’t know about.
I’ve always felt like I work in a small little area that doesn’t represent anything like the rest of society.
Wouldn’t this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive?
Don’t worry, and don’t kick yourself forever. Just take the opportunities when they come.
Your spouse should be just attractive enough to turn you on. Anything more is trouble.
There’s nothing funny about flying to Houston.
I have children. I have a family to support. But I really could live in a one-room apartment, as long as the television worked. I never needed anything. Just a comfortable chair and I’m fine.
I, sort of, got into comedy accidentally, and it got bigger than I wanted it to.
Nobody will leave any place unless they’re forced out. That’s the nature of humans. Once you’re there, you’re there. I’ve never seen anybody get up voluntarily and leave any place.
Regrets are stupid; they don’t mean anything and they don’t add up to anything.
Movies are an expensive business.
Once you sign on as an actor, you know, you don’t go to the editing room, you don’t see how they cut, you don’t see how they score, you don’t see how they cast the rest of the movie.
I’ve always been the king of silence. I’ve always been a minimalist comedian. I’ve taken my influence from Jack Benny, who was the king of that I’ve always done ‘less is more.’
You always got to be happy when somebody likes what you do. It’s stupid not to be happy.
I’ve always liked to think ahead. Not stupid-far ahead. A hundred years doesn’t interest me. But 20 years interests me, and more for what happens to humans as opposed to things.
