I certainly don't have any airs about myself.

I don't think anybody is wanting to put me back on the air. But I'm certainly out there trying.

If you want good sketches, go pick up Sid Caesar. The best of Your Show of Shows. That's the greatest sketch comedy you'll ever see on television.

You know what's nice about Montreal? Not only is it a beautiful city, but you have Cuban cigars.

Canada has given us John Candy and Martin Short and Bill Shatner and Lord knows how many other wonderful performers.

When the show is over we still have to pay our rent, we have to buy food. We have to do all the same things that you do.

The third year of MASH was when I realized I was a hit.

Canadians send us great hockey players. You also send us wonderful performers, from the beginning, with Mary Pickford.

I do Broadway because I refuse to succumb to the stereotypical things that Hollywood does to a performer.

I certainly don't have any airs about myself.

I did sketch comedy for years. I've always enjoyed it.

All the plays I do are comedies. I love listening to people laugh. I couldn't do the dramas like 'All My Sons.'

As a kid, I had to be funny.

Before 'M*A*SH*,' people in the industry didn't know what to do with this guy with the big nose.

I can't imagine that I will ever be on anything like 'M*A*S*H' again.

I enjoy 'Murphy Brown,' but I am shocked that people really like 'Married... With Children.' These shows are toilet humor, and none of them have good characters.

I was the first man to put on a dress and play it straight. That was something very fresh. Still is.

I was thrilled as a kid to point out my sister as she danced and sang on the stage, and she was pretty good artistically. She was a great inspiration to me. She was the one who sort of led me into show business.

I would like to do a nice comedy/drama feature with a good part, but nobody's asked me to do a film. Maybe it's because they don't know what to do with a guy in a dress.

I'm after the bucks because bucks give you the power, power gives you the freedom, and freedom lets you send money home to your mother.

It took me years to get out of the bargain basement. I always wanted to walk into a men's store and buy a cashmere sweater.

It's a difficult thing to overcome, but I've been quite fortunate. I haven't been out of work, literally, since 'M*A*S*H' went out of production.

Never stay with friends or relatives. You end up living on their schedules.

Some people came up with story lines where Colonel Potter moves in with Klinger, and we become a 1950s' odd couple. I said, 'Come on, let's do something significant.'

The benefits from stardom as Klinger outweigh any setbacks. It's a double-edged sword. What makes you famous is what interferes with getting other roles.

The dresses I wore are in the Smithsonian now.

You can't explain why people are friends and why those friendships last, but there certainly is magic in it. It's just something that you treasure.

It makes you a better person to know where you came from because whereever you go there is somebody in some town city hamlet whatever that has the same dreams you have.

The market didn't define the music; the music defined the market.

In a costume you need very exaggerated body language as you say sort of mime type skills.

I think we should all talk to our enemies and talk to our friends. Talk! That's the only way we'll find solutions.

You can't take anything personally in this business. Follow your dreams, but there is a lot of criticism. You have to brush it off. Everybody is looking for something different.

So vast is the shadow cast by the MGM production of 'The Wizard of Oz,' so indelible are its characterizations, so perfect its music, and so assured is its cinematic immortality, that most people think of it as 'The Original.' In fact, it isn't.

Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.

My old friend Vlado Prelog has asked me to offer, from both of us, our thanks to the Royal Academy of Sciences and to the Nobel Foundation for the honour conferred on us.

If you are fully alive to the prospect of dying, you really start reprioritising your life.

If you have a federal government that's not enforcing the law and does not preserve the integrity of its own borders, then naturally, states are going to take matters into their own hands.

My father was in the army, and you know not to talk about things on the telephone that you wouldn't want to hear transmitted.

If you imagine yourself as a craftsman at ILM, you spend your days tumbling buses and animating shards of glass. You're doing a lot of visual effects work.

When I was a kid, I was a fan of comedy. I always loved Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and Dave Letterman - not an actor, obviously, but I'm still impressed by his wit. I wanted to emulate them because they made me laugh.

I like the blues a lot. I grew up on it.

Nowadays even presidents, vice-presidents, and heads of big agencies are opening their minds to accept psychic phenomena, because they know it works.

The best way to study Mars is with two hands, eyes and ears of a geologist, first at a moon orbiting Mars... and then on the surface.

We do not merely perceive objects and hold thoughts in our minds: all our perceptions and thought processes are felt. All have a distinctive component that announces an unequivocal link between images and the existence of life in our organism.

I never threw the spitter, well maybe once or twice when I really needed to get a guy out real bad.

I want to encourage our people, to educate our people to have the courage to understand and fight for their rights.

A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.

I'll always be there because I'm a skilled professional actor. Whether or not I've any talent is beside the point.

We are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money.
