Happiness is not something you postpone for the future it is something you design for the present.

When I was younger I wasn't concentrating on good days. I was managing a career and trying to have a good year. It would always 'lead' to something which never leads to anything except death where everything leads to. And then as I got older and then I had my kids and everything I began to appreciate a great Wednesday.

I've accentuated the look over the years. As a comic you try something and if it works you go with it and grind it to death.

It's something I want to overcome. And my kids are scared to death to fly. I want them to witness me overcome it.

Of course we avoid death. To know something is inevitable is one thing. To accept to truly feel it... that's different.

I think when you're 10 years old it's too much to see something with the threat of death in every episode. Kids are better left naive about certain things.

Since I was a child death is definitely something that I think about every day. But I think that everybody does. You try and avoid it but it's such a big thing that you can't.

Perhaps we don't need these religious concoctions to pillow the fear of death. Just the fact that there is an unknown and something greater can bring a feeling of peace. That's enough for me.

There's really no such thing as the agony of dying. I'm quite sure that pain is shut off at the moment of death. You see something happens when the body knows it's about to go. Peptide hormones are released by cells in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Endorphins. They attach themselves to the cells responsible for feeling pain.
