As long as people will accept crap, it will be financially profitable to dispense it Picture Quote #1

Lawyers work hard and, like us, they’re human, many of them Picture Quote #1

I get a kick out of people saying I was funny Picture Quote #1

Obviously those who burn to be professional jesters mean that they want to be successful comedians. And those are always an elite, microscopic portion of the population. But oh, how they try 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

I’m not sure why writing for others became harder. Probably a reluctance to give away anything you might conceivably use yourself caused a block. I did it, but it remained hard when it had once been easy Picture Quote #1

Radio, which was a much better medium than television will ever be, was easy and pleasant to listen to. Your mind filled automatically with images Picture Quote #1

The trick to writing for people is, you have to be able to turn them on in your head. And know how they’d word something or how they’d inflect it Picture Quote #1

Perhaps the saddest irony of depression is that suicide happens when the patient gets a little better and can again function sufficiently Picture Quote #1

I don’t feel old. I feel like a young man that has something wrong with him Picture Quote #1

I’m not freakishly short. I had, on my show, used shortness as a joke subject; it didn’t really bother me Picture Quote #1

Music bypasses the brain and goes straight to the heart. I wish my life had more of it Picture Quote #1

In the main, ghosts are said to be forlorn and generally miserable, if not downright depressed. The jolly ghost is rare Picture Quote #1

The brain process that results in a joke materializing where no joke was before remains a mystery. I’m not aware of any scholarly, scientific or neurological studies on the subject Picture Quote #1

Running my show is really like an actor being in repertory but where, in one day in one performance, you do scenes from a drama, a farce, a low comedy and a tragedy Picture Quote #1

I’m the only talk show host, I think, if there’s such a category in, what’s called, the book of records, to have a guest die while we were taping the show, yeah Picture Quote #1

I’ve actually gotten so I don’t associate television with entertainment very much Picture Quote #1
