I've never taken any issue off the table for lack of suitability. Only for lack of imagination.

Many memory techniques involve creating unforgettable imagery in your mind's eye. That's an act of imagination. Creating really weird imagery really quickly was the most fun part of my training to compete in the U.S. Memory Competition.

Imagination allows us to escape the predictable. It enables us to reply to the common wisdom that we cannot soar by saying 'Just watch!'

There's the argument that you can relate to someone who's completely unrelatable. In the way that a director shows you his imagination on a film then I get to show you my imagination in a big dumb character.

Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.

And by the way everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

Humor has become so cliche and boring that nothing's funny anymore unless it involves something totally disgusting that offends somebody or makes them feel really uncomfortable.

Sure the comedians who swear or use scatological humor can get laughs but they're uncomfortable laughs.

My legacy would be that you don't have to give up anything. You can be chic but have a sense of humor you can be sexy but comfortable you can be timeless but fresh.

Sometimes the only way to make palatable that which is appalling and apprehensive is to season it with some humor.
