“The message I always received was God is good. You're bad. Try harder. I pretty much kept my hand up at anything that represented God.”
“I don't put my nose up at anything if the material is good.”
“In my movies, I portray this 'Everyman' persona, someone everybody can empathize with. People can identify with a guy like me.”
“I like to watch and perform the kind of comedy that comes out of the situation - where the character is really serious and in a tough situation and doesn't realize that the situation is comic.”
“I remember once they sent me over to read for a show called 'Mork and Mindy.' I heard gales of laughter, then Robin Williams walked out. I had to follow Robin Williams.”
“I still enjoy a lot of support from the black community.”
“My first car was a '63 Chevy station wagon that I called Ramona, because that's the sound it made. 'Farm Use' was painted on the back. It was right off the set of 'Hee Haw.'”
“I walked on eggshells a lot. I have a bad self-esteem problem, and my father probably facilitated it. He once looked at me very seriously when I was about 15 and had whipped cream smeared all over myself. He said, 'You'd do anything for a laugh, wouldn't you?'”
“If I get to tell good stories with good people, that's good enough for me.”

“When I was a kid growing up, I liked the sympathetic characters played by Alan Arkin, Jack Lemmon, and James Stewart. They were my heroes. No matter what happened to them, they survived with their dignity intact.”
“I like movies that project a dilemma of modern men and women who are overwhelmed by the system.”
“I'm proud to have been in some of the films that continue to be a special part of people's lives.”
“My first time in front of a camera, I said, 'Wonder Woman, I'm so glad you're here.' That's how I made a living.”
“I want to do things of significance, things that will inspire people to know how good life can be.”
