I couldn't play off people that I don't personally like,

I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'.

I just don't think most people put myself and Robert Frost in the same category.

I was not influenced by Jack Benny, and people have remarked on my timing and Jack's timing, but I don't think you can teach timing. It's something you hear in your head.

People have told me, 'My dad passed on, but I have great memories of watching your shows with him.' It doesn't get any better than that.

People with a sense of humor tend to be less egocentric and more realistic in their view of the world and more humble in moments of success and less defeated in times of travail.
