If we had 3 million exhibitionists and only one voyeur, nobody could make any money.
I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but the future ain't that funny.
I've been to many funerals of funny people, and they're some of the funniest days you'll ever have, because the emotions run high.
My humor is traced with dark - I've got dark patches all over the place.
I can't not put humor in a book.
My mom was a professional. My dad and mom met each other in a movie called 'New Faces of 1937.' My mom went under the name Thelma Leeds, and she did a few movies, and she was really a great singer, an...
When you use more than 3-5% of your brain, you don't want to be on Earth!"-Bob Diamond, Interdimensional Attorney, from the Albert Brooks' movie, Defending Your Life
