“I laugh at myself.
I don't take myself completely seriously.
I think that's another quality that people have to hold on to… you have to laugh, especially at yourself.”

“Only a short time ago, I learned that people laughed at me. Now I can see that unknowingly I joined them in laughing at myself. That hurts the most.”

“I think the only way to get through this life is laughing hard and constantly, mostly at myself.”

“There aren't many laughs in that and I remember doing a look and everybody laughed and I just thought, wow, that's incredible how you can do that. So I did another look and they laughed again and then I remember thinking, hold on, this isn't right for this piece, you've got to stop it.”

“I am forced, as I have often said, to try to make myself laugh, that I may not cry: for one or other I must do.”

“I am writing My Life to laugh at myself, and I am succeeding.”

“Who cares what people say about me? I am right on the ball. And I don't think one should take oneself too seriously. Be like the laughing Buddha, I always say, smile through life! It will immediately look better!”

“When you trick people into laughing at themselves, that's wit. If you don't laugh at yourself, everything becomes heavy.”

“We’re only here for a little while, and you’ve got to have some fun, right? I don’t take myself seriously, and I think the ones that do, there’s some sickness with people like that. That’s why I live in Florida.”

“I think of myself as a complete mystery. To myself.”
