This is the kind of world I was born in, one in which I had only one reason for existence: pleasing others.

God bless the universe, God bless Japanese, Chinese, Indians, all of them, and let's have peace.

Everything is about looking for happiness and God. That was a sentiment shared by my dear friend Ronald Reagan.

The audience and I are friends. They allowed me to grow up with them. I've let them down several times. They've let me down several times. But we're all family.

I came from a poor family. My father was from Glasgow, Scotland; my mother's brothers were brakemen on the railroad. We didn't have anything but mush for breakfast.

Change is an opportunity for everybody to think.

I was a gnomish prodigy - half-human, half-goblin, man-child, child-man.

Always get married in the morning. That way if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted the whole day.
