Actors search for rejection. If they don't get it they reject themselves.

All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

I don't believe that the public knows what it wants; this is the conclusion that I have drawn from my career.

I remain just one thing, and one thing only and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.

In the end, everything is a gag.

Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease for pain.

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles.

The most wasted day of all is that in which we have not laughed.

The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.
