Notable quotes

“Comedy is a weird but very beautiful thing. Even though it seems foolish and silly and crazy, comedy has the most to say about the human condition. Because if you can laugh, you can get by. You can survive when things are bad when you have a sense of humor.”
— All About Me! My Remarkable Life in Show Business (2021) , p. 451
