Quotable Quotes:

"Originality is nothing but a sneaky job of imitation."

"Damn it hurts when someone shoots you in the neck."

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

"When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky. "

"I'm 49-years-old and I'm cautious of the fact that very few people in comedy have careers after age 50. I think there's a notion in our society, and it maybe valid, that people aren't as funny when they get older. It's a stigma still attached to the rebelliousness of youth. I do believe that sooner or later I'll get those great roles like Gary Sinise's part in Forrest Gump (1994) or Tommy Lee Jones' as Two-Face in Batman Forever (1995)." (IMDB)

"I said to the cashier,I don't know what size my inseam is and I don't think it's relevant, I'm just trying to take care of buying this fish food for my aquarium."

"I thought it meant something but now I think it meant nothing."

"Phil Hartman's life was full of laughter and talent, bringing joy to audiences with his unforgettable characters and impeccable comedic timing. Despite his untimely passing, he will always be remembered as a beloved and incredibly talented performer. (V)"
