“I have angst in my life, but I’m like anybody. We all have angst in our lives that we pick up and fidget with and then we put down and look at some other things that make us feel good or enjoy our lives.”

My father told me ‘Name your price in the beginning. If it ever gets more expensive than the price you name, get out of there.’

I’m happier in the way a guy gets happier when he starts to mature. It doesn’t make things easier, but I’m so much better at handling them.

Constantly take inventory of what’s important to you.

I get a little heated when I talk about the past. But I wanted to be clear – I’m not mad at anybody – not anymore.

The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It’s dismissive.

All white people talk about when they get high is other times that they got high.

The kid is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Money is the fuel for choices. Money gives me choices, so it’s not nothing, it’s something. But it’s not the end all, be all. There are other things in my life that I did not purchase with money that are very valuable.

I love the fact that I have a show where you can run over a kid and everyone busts out laughing.

I started when I was 14. I figured out that’s what I wanted to do when I was 14. Even when I was six, I can remember people telling me, “You’re gonna be a comedian,” and all this stuff.

I got married recently. So far, so good. Less sex than I expected, but other than that, it’s a pretty good lifestyle.

I support anyone’s right to be who they want to be. My question is: to what extent do I have to participate in your self-image?

Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.

The really happy woman is the one who can enjoy the scenery when she has to take a detour. Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but rather a manner of traveling.

I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming… suddenly you find – at the age of 50, say – that a whole new life has opened before you.

I have lost the faculty of enjoying their destruction, and I am too idle to destroy for nothing.

Good books, like good friends, are few and chosen; the more select, the more enjoyable.

I came to a point where I needed solitude and just stop the machine of ‘thinking’ and ‘enjoying’ what they call ‘living’, I just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the clouds.

A holiday isn’t a holiday, without plenty of freedom and fun.
