I like to work a lot with wood. I make furniture that falls apart. I also sew.

I was dyslexic - was, still am - 'cause I would see words that weren't there. And people just started laughing, and I thought, well, this is a good way to make a living. I'll just go downtown to read and have people laugh, you know?

From Tim Conway

I've never really taken anything very seriously. I enjoy life because I enjoy making other people enjoy it.

From Tim Conway

If only my folks had beaten me, I could have gotten some material about my miserable childhood. But as it is, I've had a great life.

From Tim Conway

I avoid all the language and nudity and violence and everything. I have enough of that at home.

From Tim Conway

I've known Harvey for over 40 years and I worked with him on the Burnett show for 11 years. I guess you could say we're about as close as you can get to being a comedy team.

From Tim Conway

I think there are a lot of things out there that are humorous that people don't realize until you actually show them what is going on. Saran Wrap for one thing. You know, you could pull enough of that out of the box and it will actually kill you. It will get a hold of you, stick to you, and choke you to death.

From Tim Conway

As a kid I was short and only weighed 95 pounds. And though I was active in a lot of Sports and got along with most of the guys, I think I used comedy as a defense mechanism. You know making someone laugh is a much better way to solve a problem than by using your fists.

From Tim Conway

At first I wanted to be a jockey. I rode horses in Cleveland but I kept falling off and I was afraid of horses. So there wasn't much of a future in it.

From Tim Conway

Don Knotts was a really big influence, especially on the Steve Allen show. I mean, look at the guy, his entire life is in his face.
