“I'm basically an 'appy person, but I'm just not into fun things that much.”

“I'm just sayin', I don't like fun”

“I'm having too much fun today to worry about tomorrow.”

“Because I'm just an ordinary person that did some extraordinary things. ”

“I'm not basically a happy person, but I have all kinds of joy.”

“I'm not too interested in these swan songs I'm continuing to hear. I'm just Mike. I'm a peasant. I'm here to entertain the people. I'm no elite person. At one stage in my life, I had my little jewelry and all my little girlfriends and my big cars and things. At one point, I thought life was about acquiring things. But as a I get older life is totally about losing everything. As life goes on, we lose more than we acquire. I don't want the finest girl in the world anymore. I'm just trying to stay balanced, basically.”

“I'm not a greedy person, I just want to accomplish so many different things.”

“Lots of death, huh? Personally, I'm trying to avoid lots of death, but you guys have fun!”

“I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day I have left. Because there's no other way to play.”

“I'm actually very sensitive about those things, and it's personally painful…You know, whenever they made fun of my makeup, it was because the newspapers colorized my photograph.”
