From 1936 on, I have taken more falls than any other 20 comedians put together. From the time I was 21, I've taken them on everything from clay courts to cement to wood floors, coming off pianos, going out a two-story window, landing on Dean, falling into the rough. You do that and you're gonna have problems. ↗

If you think something's funny, go with that. Most comedians pull jokes from a place of honesty. ↗

Comedians are never really on vacation because you're always at attention... that antenna is always out there. ↗

All comedians are, in a way, anarchists. Our job is to make fun of the existing world. ↗

It was a decision to work clean. I just prefer to work that way. I have no problem with comedians who don't work that way. There was a temptation in the early '70s to reconsider. I decided against it. ↗
