I've never used my weight to get a laugh. That is, used my size as the subject for humor. You never saw me stuck in a door-way or stuck in a chair.

If we can't laugh at ourselves and the human condition, we're going to be mean.

We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.

If we could all just laugh at ourselves, in hard times or good times, it would be an incredible world.

When people are in the midst of really heavy stuff and still have a sense of humor, I admire that.

I feel now it's useless to keep hoping. The way things are today, we live in a world that needs laughter, and I've decided if I can make people laugh, I'm making a more important contribution.

The person who knows how to laugh at himself will never cease to be amused.

Ninety-eight per cent of laughter is nothing to do with jokes, which do not deserve to bear the weight of all the funny stuff in the world.

I know what it feels like to carry a lot of weight in a society that's very image-conscious. It's a thin person's world, and we try to navigate within it without being made fun of.

So instead of beating myself up for being fat, I think it's a miracle that I laugh every day and walk through my life with pride, because our culture is unrelenting when it comes to large people.
