One of the things that comedy has given me over the years is a really good ability to laugh at myself and to not take things that don't matter too much too seriously. I feel that very little offends me anymore and I'm really grateful for that because I think I was a pretty uptight little kid. ↗

Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party. ↗

Some prices are just too high, no matter how much you may want the prize. The one thing you can't trade for your heart's desire is your heart. ↗

If you look just at the decades after 1934, you know it's hard to point to really inspired and positive support from outside of Haiti, to Haiti, and much easier to point to either small-minded or downright mean-spirited policies. ↗
