You make due with the time you have here. Hopefully when you pass on, somebody can look back and say, 'Wow, they made a difference in some kind of way.'

I don't want to sound facetious, but humour is the key to the soul. You know what I mean?

NO ONE is immune to the trials and tribulations of life.

Life- ride it until the wheels fall off.

I just try to get along with people and show the love that I would like to be shown to me.

Everybody has a Big Momma: the mother or the grandmother who tells it like it is, keeps it real with them, isn't afraid to tell you the truth about yourself.

For me, this was all or nothing. I left no room for anything else. That goal was just for my own push, my own self-esteem. The fear of not being a success in my life made me push even harder.

I don't really judge. To each his own. You like what you like.

You can be cool and at the same time respect your woman, who will hopefully become your wife, who will hopefully become the mother of your kids. America needs to get back to family values.

I don't like forcing comedy and people just trying to do things just to find a funny beat all the time.

My audience is a diehard audience. They are dedicated. My audience always follows me and sticks with me. They're the reason I'm still here - in the films and in stand-ups.

Writers are the engineers of human souls.

If I don't work for a while, I don't work for a while.

As publishing has become less expensive, the urge to write my own self has become the opportunity to publish my own self. Everyone now can afford to preach in the desert.

There is no getting around these essential ingredients: determination, effort and time. These are the real secrets to happiness.

Every lie is a poison; there are no harmless lies. Only the truth is safe. Only the truth gives me consolation - it is the one unbreakable diamond.

I loved being in my own head so much, it was getting harder and harder being with other people.

I was so tired of being told reasonable, practical things whenever something went wrong with my life.

It is easier to develop great power than it is to know how to use it wisely.

Thanks, for a country where nobody is allowed to mind his own business. Thanks, for a nation of finks.

Shall I never see a bachelor of three score again?
