I do love the films I've done in the past. I work hard in my movies and my friends work hard and we're trying to make people laugh and I'm very proud of that.

I grew up watching all these crazy movies European movies and stuff and I guess that I always laughed at things that were a little more offbeat.

I wanted to do another movie that could make us laugh and cry and feel good about the world. I wanted to do something else that could make us smile. This is a time when we need to smile more and Hollywood movies are supposed to do that for people in difficult times.

Well he doesn't make me laugh. I think I've got a fair sense of humour but I can't really see it in him. I've listened to his show on the radio on a Saturday morning and that's a load of mince as well.

This morning I was laughing at my cat who was running up the stairs and slipped and pretended like it didn't happen.

The regular guy still relates to him and Howard is a $500 million guy now who dates a model and drives about in a limo all day. But Howard still knows how to make a plumber laugh and those guys still have him on in the morning because he is a real talent.

I wake up laughing. Yes I wake up in the morning and there I am just laughing my head off.

I never laugh or smile when I am writing. When I come home for lunch after writing all morning my wife says I look like I just came home from a funeral. This is not bragging. This is an illness.

It is not time for mirth and laughter the cold gray dawn of the morning after.

I'm always in bed by 11 or 12 and people laugh all the time - they want me to hang out until two in the morning but n-n-no I need my nine hours.

My children are the reason I laugh smile and want to get up every morning.

This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the fruit-of-the-loom guys laughing at me.

I still think of that guy I was without a wife or kids and I still want to entertain that guy. The lonely guy the frustrated guy the guy with no money - this is the guy who needs to laugh.

Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.

How could man rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men?

Like all young men I set out to be a genius but mercifully laughter intervened.

Seeing unhappiness in the marriage of friends I was content to have chosen music and laughter as a substitute for a husband.

I think one reason for a successful marriage is laughter. I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage.

It's nice to know you have support. Last night I got a marriage proposal. I just laughed.

You can forgive people who do not follow you through a philosophical disquisition but to find your wife laughing when you had tears in your eyes or staring when you were in a fit of laughter would go some way towards a dissolution of the marriage.

If love is the treasure laughter is the key.

Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end.

From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover that you have wings.

If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness more compassion more joy more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.
