Quotable Quotes:

"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."
