There is no magic wand that can resolve our problems. The solution rests with our work and discipline.
I believe that we have been doing this not primarily to achieve riches or even honour, but rather because we were interested in the work, enjoyed doing it and felt very strongly that it was worthwhile.

I don't think about that. I wasn't a kid growing up saying one day I'll get an Oscar and make a speech. That wasn't on my mind. So what I do is the best work I can do.
I don't know who I touch and who I don't. I work hard trying to make people laugh. I try to do the kind of stuff that made me laugh growing up. I don't have any secrets. I don't know the reasons I've been so well received.

The only consistent hobby I've had is studying Spanish and French because of some delusion of grandeur to work around the world. I love sports but usually I'm looking for the next job.
I always wanted to make sure my parents didn't have to work again for the rest of their lives.

To work hard, to live hard, to die hard, and then go to hell after all would be too damn hard.
A lot of people say this honor validates my career, but I didn't work hard for validation.
I struggled many times when maybe it didn't look like I was struggling, and I had to work hard every day.
