“Just be your biggest fan. Maybe that sensibility will catch on to others. Cut yourself some slack and know you’re doing the best you can and you’re working as hard as you can. Just be proud of that.”………..”I’ve chosen to treat my life more like a party than something to stress about.”……. “I’ve had some tragedy in my life, absolutely, but I don’t know one human being who hasn’t. You either learn from it and become empowered by it, or you become a victim to it. It’s life, after all.”……”The mark of the man is how he responds to situations. You’re not going to avoid tough times. We’re all over the barrel some of the time. What are you going to do about it?”…….”Comedy is so subjective. If you trip and fall down, some people will laugh, and some people will say, ‘Oh, physical comedy is so pedestrian.’ Some people look at Three Stooges as lowbrow; some people consider them artists. No one is wrong. It’s just a personal take.”
