Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, even our troubles.

You'll never find rainbows If you're looking down.

Comedy is the most serious study in the world. I start out to find my characters in real life.

Through humor, we see in what seems rational, the irrational; in what seems important, the unimportant. It also heightens our sense of survival and preserves our sanity.

Life is a tragedy when seen in closed-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

Actors search for rejection. If they don't get it they reject themselves.

You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you just smile.

I went into the business for the money and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can't help it. It's the truth.

The mirror is my best friend, because when I cry it never laughs.

I am what I am: an individual, unique and different, with a lineal history of ancestral promptings and urgings, a history of dreams, desires, and of special experiences, all of which I am the sum total.
