I watched every single Charlie Chaplin film.

That's all any of us are: amateurs. We don't live long enough to be anything else.

Chaplin was my idol. I remember watching those movies at this little theater in Woodstock, N.Y., when I was probably 6 and laughing so hard at the surprises, like Keaton suddenly being dragged by a streetcar.

You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.

Who made me laugh when I was growing was Chaplin and the Marx Brothers, and then moving on, there were so many that I was a writer for for many years: I was a writer for the Smothers Brothers, Lily Tomlin, then I started on 'Saturday Night Live' as the head writer the first year we started it.

Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul.
