Jonathan Winters Quotes

If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to meet it Picture Quote #1

I couldn't wait for success... so I went ahead without it Picture Quote #1

I find painting a much slower process than comedy, where you can go a mile a minute verbally and hope to God that some of the people out there understand you. I don’t paint every day. I’m not that motivated Picture Quote #1

Well, the most terrible fear that anybody should have is not war, is not a disease, not cancer or heart problems or food poisoning - it’s a man or a woman without a sense of humor Picture Quote #1

I love improvisation. You can’t blame it on the writers. You can’t blame it on direction. You can’t blame it on the camera guy... It’s you. You’re on. You’ve got to do it, and you either sink or swim with what you’ve got Picture Quote #1

I’ve done for the most part pretty much what I intended - I ended up doing comedy, writing and painting. I’ve had a ball. And as I get older, I just become an older kid Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been proud of being a Marine. I won’t hesitate to defend the Corps Picture Quote #1

I began painting well before I started doing comedy. In fact, when I came out of the war in 1946, I enrolled in art school in Dayton, Ohio. I painted for three years, and then show business took hold Picture Quote #1

As a kid, I always wanted to be lots of things. I was a Walter Mitty type. I wanted to be in the French Foreign Legion, a detective, a doctor, a test pilot with a scarf, a fisherman who hauled in a tremendous marlin after a 12-hour fight Picture Quote #1

Something I’ll always remember - when I was a kid, I shook hands with Orville Wright. Forty years later, I shook hands with Neil Armstrong. The guy that invented the airplane and the guy that walked on the moon. In a lifetime, that’s kinda wild when you think about it Picture Quote #1

I don’t do jokes. The characters are my jokes Picture Quote #1

I know you can be funny without being filthy Picture Quote #1

Discipline is tough for a guy who is a rebel Picture Quote #1

I have a photographic memory; I just haven’t developed it yet Picture Quote #1

God is in my head, but the devil is in my pants Picture Quote #1

Nothing is impossible. Some things are just less likely than others Picture Quote #1

I was always an observer, even as a child. I could be satisfied to sit in a car for 3 hours and just look at the street go by while my mother went shopping Picture Quote #1

My paintings and comedy have a lot in common. They are both improvisations based on observation Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to be an observer. And you’ve got to take time to listen to people, talk, to watch what they do Picture Quote #1

I don’t paint every day. I’m not that motivated. I don’t do anything the same every day Picture Quote #1

When you wear so many hats in society, you never know who you are. That’s the beauty of it. Because once you find out who you are, you’re screwed Picture Quote #1

Throughout my life, I’ve been gratified that I’ve been able to keep the child in me alive and inspire others Picture Quote #1

Now the freaks are on television, the freaks are in the movies. And it’s no longer the sideshow, it’s the whole show. The colorful circus and the clowns and the elephants, for all intents and purposes, are gone, and we’re dealing only with the freaks Picture Quote #1

I love improvisation. You can’t blame it on the writers. You can’t blame it on direction. You can’t blame it on the camera guy... It’s you. You’re on. You’ve got to do it, and you either sink or swim with what you’ve got Picture Quote #1

In terms of comedians, I loved, growing up, Jonathan Winters, Sid Caesar, Jackie Gleason, Phil Silvers, Carol Burnett, all those people Picture Quote #1
