Sid Caesar

The trouble with telling a good story is that it invariably reminds the other fellow of a dull one.

The things I see now on TV and in movies are so outlandish. Kids doing rude things with pies! And the language that they use! It's being outrageous for the sake of being outrageous. I can't watch it. It turns me off.

In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.

When I did comedy I made fun of myself. If there was a buffoon, I played the buffoon.

Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end.

When we could split the screen, it was like 'Wow!'.
