Jonathan Winters

"I was always an observer, even as a child. I could be satisfied to sit in a car for 3 hours and just look at the street go by while my mother went shopping."

"Well, the most terrible fear that anybody should have is not war, is not a disease, not cancer or heart problems or food poisoning - it's a man or a woman without a sense of humor."

"My mother and father were very strange people. They tried to be funny which is always very sad to me."

"I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it."
