“So I watched the Pink Panther last night, and so I'm trying desperately to be funny, and then it's just not working out so good… I wonder if maybe I could've been a comedian or something like that, or maybe I could've been a doctor, then I wouldn't have to make anyone laugh.”

But I know that it's no use
If I ever find anyone half as good as you

“I'm on the Internet a lot more than I watch TV and most everybody I know is, and yet if you watch most late-night talk shows, it's as if it doesn't even exist. So the Internet, it's just something I wanted to make use of in some way. I was fascinated by what appeared to be a child singing this song. It just struck me as funny.”

Paul Newman (1925–2008) American actor and film director

“You show me your face everywhere I see
and you try to get any good attribute
so I sometimes make a mistake that's why
I am an ignorant person or maybe I'm rural.”

در هر صفتی جلوه‌گر آیی که منم
با اینهمه گهگاه غلط می‌افتم‎
نادان کس و بله روستایی که منم‎
