“A lot of money is spent trying to keep people alive who don’t necessarily want to be alive.”

I’ve been married forty-five years. I think laughter is the secret.

A guy walks into a psychologist’s convention with a banana in his pocket.When asked about the significance of this he says;well,they were all out of grapes.

You shouldn’t get too close to the truth, because then maybe you stop being funny.

Funny is funny is funny.

I think you should be a child for as long as you can. I have been successful for 74 years being able to do that.

People with a sense of humor tend to be less egocentric and more realistic in their view of the world and more humble in moments of success and less defeated in times of travail.

All I can say about life is “Oh God, enjoy it.

There are a lot of questions I keep asking myself about why I do comedy. I guess I laugh to keep from crying. And I guess if you ever get me crying, I might not stop. This is the way I look at tragedy or else I’ll cry.

Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.

I am a minimalist. I like saying the most with the least.

Have I been buried alive by chronic pain? I can taste the dirt as they put me in the earth, thick on my lips like the honey that drips down my lips.

Hate all you want that doesn’t change the fact I’m one of the hardest young niggas alive night now.

I won’t be like Snow White and wait around for some guy. Prince charming’s kiss isn’t the only thing that makes me feel alive.

Hope is the only thing that keeps us alive. Without hope there can be no you or I.

Sometimes life breaks us and buries us alive, but that is how we find our purpose and rise bloom in love.

In the morning it was morning and I was still alive.

Pain is only a reflection that proves you are alive.

Every day is a holiday: you open your eyes, and you realize that you are alive, and this is already a great start, because you might not have woken up.
