I was lucky. My family is wonderful. And it's funny, because most of my best friends come from very large families. So it always felt as if I had lots of siblings, though in the end I had to leave them and go home. I kind of got the best of both worlds as a kid.

The reason I keep talking about a wife and saying the word 'wife' on stage is because it seems a funny word to me. The more you say it, the more it seems to detach from that person and become this sort of abstract thing: that you would set out to find a wife, that it would be an objective like buying a new car.

“It's funny, you hear all these stories about he's doing this, he's doing that. You go in the barn, his horses look better than anybody's, they're standing on deeper bedding than anybody, they're getting better feed than anybody - he's second to none in care. He's a phenomenal natural horseman.”

“I am a tiny, neurotic man, standing in the back of the room throwing tomatoes at the chalk board. And that's really it. And what we do is we come in in the morning and we go, "Did you see that thing last night? Aahh!" And then we spend the next 8 or 9 hours trying to take this and make it into something funny.”

“It's kind of a funny thing after all these years, having the trip be so much shorter. I think it's been exceptional. The only downside is that the old lift capacity was lower, so the skier density was lower. (But) if you're a local and you know where to ski, it's pretty much the same, you just get there faster.”

“This film is very heavy and intense at times, and I think in order to make it a well-rounded movie, you need someone to come in and deliver a little chuckle factor. To be able to come play and deliver was great fun, especially to do it in a completely new genre for me. You have to go to these funny places, but you can't overdo it.”

“Robin's music for Conker: Live and Reloaded runs a zigzag course from snaptop groove guitar rock to wildly funny operatic parody. Rare really took a cutting-edge leap by having Rabbit In The Moon remix and perform Rock Solid . On the streets RITM are known for their over the top live performances as well their infectious beats.”

“He would take a pencil and the pencil would move and start to work by itself. It's a funny thing to think about, but that's what he said about his writing. He shunned the computer. He felt he could only do it with a pencil and correct it on computer, he couldn't do the original writing on the computer.”

“I realized by the time I turned 30, which happened this year, that I would be going out with girls and they would think I was really funny, but I would know absolutely nothing about them. I decided that's just not the way to go. I have tried to listen more and get to know the person I'm with.”

Oh. C’mon, pretty girl. I like it when ya scream.” The leader breathed into my ear. I spat as good as I could on his hand. He jumped back glaring. I said, “Funny. You like it when I scream? Yet you cover my mouth!” I laughed then winced.
