When humor can be made to alternate with melancholy, one has a success, but when the same things are funny and melancholic at the same time, it's just wonderful.

It's funny how making odd noises can get you into strange situations sometimes.

I'm a funny guy. I want people to laugh. I laugh at myself, I make fun of myself. But at the end of the day everything that I say has a message in it.

Life is funny. If you don't laugh, you're in trouble.

God is funny like that, He is funny. He rips your heart and He makes you believe. He makes you believe the unimaginable.

If you're serious, you really understand that it's important that you laugh as much as possible and admit that you're the funniest person you ever met. You have to laugh. Admit that you're funny. Otherwise, you die in solemnity.

Ignoring fame was my rebellion, in a funny way. I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things. It probably wasn't advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger. And it probably wasn't wise to share a bathroom with eight other people in a coed dorm. Looking back, that was crazy.

Life would be tragic if it weren't funny.

I served 18 months in Northern Ireland and that was very scary. I remember when we were told do you want the good news or the bad news first. We wanted the good news - we're going to Cyprus. The bad news? We're going to Northern Ireland first. All the black blokes looked at each other and thought, 'that's really funny.'
