Quotes
- “Comedy, like sodomy, is an unnatural act.”
- “Sex is two plus two making five, rather than four. Sex is the X ingredient that you can't define, and it's that X ingredient between two people that make both a man and a woman good in bed. It's all relative. There are no rules.”
- “Hookers have to deliver on their promise... unlike politicians.”
- “I feel about Keaton the way an organist thinks of Bach.”
- “I carry Keaton's photo around with me to remind me what happened to him. If the Hollywood system can destroy him it can destroy me.”
- “When I quoted Bulwer Lytton's "The pen is mightier than the sword" to Marty Feldman he added reflectively, "Yes, and considerably easier to write with."”
