Comedy Is Tragedy Plus Time.

Originally, I Came From Texas, And We Lived On - I Guess You'd Call It Welfare, What We Called Relief.

I Think The Hardest Thing To Do In The World, Show-business-wise, Is Write Comedy.

My Grandmother And I Followed My Mother Here, To A House A Block North Of Hollywood Boulevard But A Million Miles Away From Hollywood, If You Know What I Mean. We Would Hang Out Behind The Ropes And Look At The Movie Stars Arriving At The Premieres.

I Always Had A Weak Chin Because We Couldn't Afford To Correct My Bite, Which Could Have Been Corrected With Braces. So The Chin Was Always Weak. And I Always Was - Kind Of Hated My Profile. And I Thought Wouldn't It Be Nice Someday To Feel The Rain On Your Chin Without Having To Look Up.

Comedy = Tragedy + Time.
