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.

Androgyny is not trying to manage the relationship between the opposites; it is simply flowing between them.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up, but to me, being grown up is death, stopping thinking, trying to find out things, going on learning.

I am playing with the assumptions that we have in our everyday life when we are tripped up or fooled and we learn something, that makes things exciting - I am having fun with that stuff, but you have to manage it so it doesn't get too cute, that's what I trying to work toward.

'Thou shalt not get found out' is not one of God's commandments; and no man can be saved by trying to keep it.

Well, I think that those of us in public life that are trying to do a good job, and that are faced with this popular new game that the media has of being critical of everything that anybody in public office does probably are thin-skinned.

When Frank the Pug is singing I Will Survive, the only reason it's funny is that Will is in that shot trying not to get angry. A shot of a dog singing I Will Survive on its own will not get a laugh.

I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.

Votes are like trees, if you are trying to build a forest. If you have more trees than you have forests, then at that point the pollsters will probably say you will win.

I'd been trying for all of the eight years we'd been married to have a child, and finally I did.

Yeah; I'm a much better blues player than anybody knows, but being in the kind of group I'm in, we were always trying to make popular records.

Uhm, I'm the one wanting the lessons! I don't want to say too much about it because I'd rather have you see the movie, but he's trying to find his music.

So my idea of neurotic is spending too much time trying to correct a wrong. When I feel that I'm doing that, then I snap out of it.

I've always done food that can work in a set time frame. The message I'm trying to get across is, it doesn't have to take three days to do this. With planning, you can do a lot and really have quality food every day.

I meditate a lot, but I am constantly in pain. I'm trying to live with this. You just have to accept it.

I trained and trained and went up against Kurt, then being a world champion in '94, and after that I did Tommy's tour and then my tour and all this stuff and just trying to deal with it all. And now, I've just kind of backed off a little.

You feel the music needs something but you don't know what. So you start searching, fitting, measuring, trying. Every time you try another angle. And sometimes that's frustrating, especially if you don't come up with something for three days.

Trying to give back a little bit is important.

Intimacy comes from being yourself on the stage and making the audience feel, without trying, that you're sittin' down there with 'em, playing, and that can happen in a big hall, if you have a good audience that want to listen.

While advances in scientific research have led to some new and exciting treatments that have enlarged and enhanced the quality and length of human life, we must not lose sight as to what we are trying to accomplish.

Playing polo is like trying to play golf during an earthquake.

Orlando's a part of me. The next guy's a part of me. And the next guy's a part of me. That's all I'm trying to do, is tell cool stories that people can relate to.
