The real good comedians, like Chaplin, would make you laugh and a second later, cry.

A good director makes a playground and allows you to play.

Make 'em laugh; make 'em cry; make 'em wait.

Sometimes you need a good laugh, and then there are times when you need a good cry.

All great comedians make me laugh, but people make me laugh more.

I don't like to do what I call 'the grunters' - a character who sits at a table and grunts and young people make fun of. I turn a lot of those down.
