I'm not offended. lenny bruce taught me that everything's funny. you can make everything funny. i don't think that assassinations are funny, i don't think you can make fun of isis, but almost everything is funny. and if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? so i don't mind ethnic humor. i like ethnic humor. i like dialect jokes. laughter is a very subjective thing. if it's funny to you it's funny. and a lot of things are funny to me.

The minute you read something and you can't understand it, you can be sure it was written by a lawyer. then, if you give it to another lawyer to read and he don't know just what it means, then you can be sure it was drawn up by a lawyer. if it's in a few words and is plain, and understandable only one way, it was written by a non-lawyer.

The one object of fifty years of abstract art is to present art-as-art and as nothing else, to make it into the one thing it is only, separating and defining it more and more, making it purer and emptier, more absolute and more exclusive - non-objective, non-representational, non-figurative, non-imagist, non-expressionist, non-subjective. the only and one way to say what abstract art or art-as-art is, is to say what it is not.

Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.

I make comedies and i always try... i don't try but i allow to have at least 5% of the jokes or have some jokes that i know will be understood by only about 5% of the audience. it's that guy in the corner who gets it and laughs. but he has to have his jokes too. that's part of my audience. part of my audience is the people who will only get certain things.

I really think that technology has the greatest potential to accelerate happiness of most things in the world. the companies that will ultimately do well are the companies that chase happiness. if you find a way to help people find love, or health or friendship, the dollar will chase that.

Sure there's a percentage of people who are like, "it snowed in may. i don't believe in climate change." well, that's crazy, but that's always gonna be the case. i suppose if climate change happens much faster than even the dire experts predict, then i suppose opinions will change.
