The Good Humor man can only be pushed so far.

The president of General Motors was in a foul humor.

I want to be taken seriously as the type of musician that plays stuff like an electric rake. I mean how seriously do you take someone like Spike Jones? They take him pretty seriously - a really good musician who made a great contribution in terms of humor which is part of what I try to do too.

I'm not a traditional politician and I have a sense of humor. I'll try to soften it and become boring maybe even very boring but I'm not sure if I'll be able to.

I like dark humor. My favorite movie of all time is 'Harold and Maude.'

And you know whether it's drama or comedy the best work is based on truth. It's just that with comedy the circumstances are just crazy-heightened and you have these crazy things thrown at you. But you still have to do it truthfully because that's where the humor comes from. So it's not that difficult to cross over.

I like a very dry wit not the big kind of humor like Robin Williams. I don't think I'm capable of that.

It's self-effacing it's hard-luck the shtetl stories. All those Coasters things are an amalgam of Yiddish and black humor.

I've had a very laughable career and what has seen me through is my sense of humor.

It's odd how violence and humor so often go together isn't it?
