Johnny Carson

I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.

I couldn't care less what anybody says about me. I live my life, especially my personal life, strictly for myself... Whatever you do, you're going to be criticized. I feel the one sensible thing you can do is try to live in a way that pleases you.

I am one of the lucky people in the world; I found something I always wanted to do, and I have enjoyed every single minute of it.

Anytime four New Yorkers get into a cab together without arguing, a bank robbery has just taken place.

People thought I was funny, so I kind of took entertaining for granted... it was inevitable that I'd start giving little performances.

The only thing money gives you is the freedom of not worrying about money.

My success just evolved from working hard at the business at hand each day.

Talent alone won't make you a success. Neither will being in the right place at the right time, unless you are ready. The most important question is: 'Are your ready?'

Never continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined.
