Quotes

|---|---|
| 1 | [on meeting Anne Meara, his future wife] She seemed to sense I had no money, so she just ordered coffee. Then she took all the silverware. I picked up her cheque for ten cents and thought, 'This is a girl I'd like to hang out with'. |
| 2 | My father and mother - I figured if I could make them laugh, they'd stop fighting. I stole all their material. |
| 3 | Some of the routines come back very easily. We do it off the top of our heads. |
| 4 | I ask myself why I do it. Maybe it's to prove I'm still around. It takes a lot out of my body. I'm not an NBA player anymore. At my age, very few people can handle it. |
| 5 | I loved the idea of touching base with an audience. |
| 6 | I shave without using shaving cream. |
| 7 | I've been around the block a lot and I've had a merry trail for 55 years. |
| 8 | It can make you sad to look at pictures from your youth. So there's a trick to it. The trick is not to look at the later pictures. |
| 9 | Money is sensual. |
| 10 | We managed to hang in there. Today when people get married there's a tendency to run away when things get tough. There is a lot of strength in hanging together. |
| 11 | Anne hated the idea of putting me down in front of the audience. |
| 12 | Anne is very forgiving. She doesn't care about money, being rich, or clothes. We never argued about finances. |
| 13 | Being on a sitcom stops me from getting Alzheimer's. |
| 14 | Creative comedy is like growing geraniums in a mine field. |
| 15 | During the Great Depression, when people laughed their worries disappeared. Audiences loved these funny men. I decided to become one. |
| 16 | Hollywood never knew there was a Vietnam War until they made the movie. |
| 17 | I don't think my judgment is that good. I don't know what is funny. |
| 18 | Never go for the punch line. There might be something funnier on the way. |
| 19 | The worst thing in this business is to be thought of as a no-talent. |
