“Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm. I really hope no one misinterprets this quote as being about masturbation.”

I don’t believe in collective guilt, but I do believe in collective responsibility.

I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Take care of the small circle around you. When you have succeeded with them, then move outwards, one small step at a time.

As much as I loved the art and discipline of the dance, it didn’t love me!

Fewer things are lovelier to me than a full-blown rose when it opens up its heart.

Paris is always a good idea.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself.

I’ve been lucky. Opportunities don’t often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

To have beautiful lips, say beautiful things. To have beautiful eyes, look at people and see the good in them.

You can always tell what kind of a person a man really thinks you are by the earrings he gives you.

There is a shade of red for every woman.

Some people dream of having a big swimming pool. With me, it’s closets.

True friends are families which you can select.

I’d never worry about age if I knew I could go on being loved and have the possibility to love.

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.

Comedy is a high form of art becaus it brings us more joy than anything else.

If I talked I would become like any other comedian.

I think you’re bound to get a sense of any character that you play. It’s not something you often do in comedy.

I don’t do comedy. I think if a situation is funny you just play it for real and if it’s funny, it’s funny.

Lord, what fools these mortals be!

The arts community still has a long lasting cynicism of the importance, or the artistic value, of comedy. Comedy is just farting about for money.

The one thing I would never wish it to be thought is that you play serious roles in order to achieve some sort of respectability which you can’t if you’re playing comedic roles.

I consider myself more of a visual comedian than a physical one.
