The absolute truth is the thing that makes people laugh.

Everybody wants to laugh - you know that. They need to laugh... people need to laugh.

I certainly have warm relationships with people, but you choose the people you have those relationships with. There are some people I don't bother with.

You'd only write what you know and what you know is what you do and the people you know. So you'd write about them or the people you have met casually. It's part of your life.

Id like to acknowledge three people who early on knew Mel Brooks was one of the funniest people in the world: Sid Caesar, me, and Mel Brooks.

I'm an entertainer and I entertain people and they entertain me back by asking questions. And some of them I answer.

If you send out good people into the world, you know you've done something good.
