Every comic can report a few ‘gift from the gods’ moments Picture Quote #1

The emotions in all true anxiety dreams are next to unbearable Picture Quote #1

It takes a certain amount of guts to go to your class reunions Picture Quote #1

Every student of comedy should see Dame Edna at least twice Picture Quote #1

Censorship feeds the dirty mind more than the four-letter word itself Picture Quote #1

It’s fun for me to go on other folks’ talk shows. When you’ve endured the ups and downs and tensions and pitfalls of hosting, being a guest is a piece of angel food Picture Quote #1

I haven’t ever found any great writing on that wonderful and often unappreciated art form, the insult Picture Quote #1

I don’t think anyone ever gets over the surprise of how differently one audience’s reaction is from another Picture Quote #1

It was at a vividly bad time in Norman Mailer’s life that I met him, and a sort of water-treading time in mine. He had stabbed his wife, and I was a copy boy at Time magazine Picture Quote #1

Being the offspring of English teachers is a mixed blessing. When the film star says to you, on the air, ‘It was a perfect script for she and I,’ inside your head you hear, in the sarcastic voice of your late father, ‘Perfect for she, eh? And perfect for I, also?’ Picture Quote #1

A biggest mistake I made when I started doing a talk show was I thought you had to read the books Picture Quote #1

Anyone working in the media can tell you that there seems to be an always-ready-to-explode segment of the populace for whom offense is a fate worse than anything imaginable. You’d think offense is one of the most calamitous things that could happen to a human being; right up there with the loss of a limb, or just missing a parking space Picture Quote #1

I’m not the guy with the enormous comedy nose or the big feet or the bad posture or the whatever; a physical comic has certain things Picture Quote #1

It’s a tribute to the human brain that anyone is able to function out there on television in a talk situation that is entirely artificial Picture Quote #1

I’m sure I’ve all but lost friends by maintaining that, despite their love for it, I always saw Stanley Kramer’s ‘It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World’ as more of an exercise in anti-comedy than humor Picture Quote #1

William F. Buckley was a man who had a great capacity for fun and for amusing himself by amazing others Picture Quote #1

There are online forms you can fill out to send to your lawmakers, demanding that nothing - nothing at all or in any way - be done about any guns whatever, anywhere Picture Quote #1

Do freshman philosophy classes nowadays debate updated versions of the age-old questions? Like, how could a merciful God allow AIDS, childhood cancers, tsunamis and Dick Cheney? Picture Quote #1

I have a feeling that about 90% of my life has been shaped by my voice, both as an embarrassment and as an advantage. There was always the terrible incongruity of this deep voice barreling out of this little body. Somewhere in the back of my mind I was aware that it was ludicrous, that it took on an importance that wasn’t really there Picture Quote #1

My dream was maybe someday, one night I can be a guest on a talk show, and then I will have achieved everything I want Picture Quote #1

Why anyone, by dying, should thereby be declared beyond criticism, innocent of wrongdoing, suddenly filled with virtue and above reproach escapes me Picture Quote #1

I feel sorry for the poor kids whose parents feel they’re qualified to teach them at home. Of course, some parents are smarter than some teachers, but in the main I see home-schooling as misguided foolishness Picture Quote #1

I have a disturbing problem with losing things. My vulnerability to loss-distress could properly be labeled not only inordinate, but neurotic Picture Quote #1

Electronic devices dislike me. There is never a day when something isn’t ailing Picture Quote #1

You have to be on TV a surprisingly long time before you’re stopped on the street. Then, when you are, you get a lot of, ‘Hey, you’re great! What’s your name again?’ Picture Quote #1

The authority of depression is horrifying. I felt like my brain was busted and that I could never feel good again. I really thought that I was never gonna heal Picture Quote #1

History is not reassuring on the subject of the longevity of seemingly lasting great nations, is it? Picture Quote #1
