You can't study comedy; it's within you. It's a personality. My humor is an attitude.
Who picks your clothes - Stevie Wonder?
Among my friends, I'm not a little Boy Scout, and they love my humor, thank God.
You know what's funny to me? Attitude.
I like to think I'm like the guy who goes to the office Christmas party Friday night, insults some people, but still has his job Monday morning.
Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.
An insult is mean or unkind. Milton Berle called me the Sultan of Insult, and I was called the King of Insult. But the guy that gave me the best title - and I use it to this day - was Johnny Carson. He called me Mr. Warmth.
I did a few movies, but the word 'star'... I cannot compare to a star like Clint Eastwood. I used to call Clint 'Larry Dickman' when he would come to my show; then, he started using the name when he would go under cover in a 'Dirty Harry' movie. That's why he's a movie star... he's so creative.

I have no idea what I'm going to say when I stand up to give a toast. But I do know that anything I say I find funny.
When you stand alone and sell yourself, you can't please everyone. But when you're different, you can last.
If I have learned anything, it is to keep my wife happy by sending her lavish gifts. Other men can learn from my success and send their wives and girlfriends fresh flowers for birthdays, anniversaries, and of course, Valentine's Day.
Whatever you do to gain success, you have to hang in there and hope good things happen. Always think positive.

Famous people are deceptive. Deep down, they're just regular people. Like Larry King. We've been friends for forty years. He's one of the few guys I know who's really famous. One minute he's talking to the president on his cell phone, and then the next minute he's saying to me, 'Do you think we ought to give the waiter another dollar?'
I stopped smoking. But my personality I still have. I get up in the morning, and not everybody loves me, so if you want to call that a bad habit, there's that.
