  • The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.

  • There's a lot of different ways that a song would be a challenge to parody.

Some songs are too repetitive for me to be able to fashion a humorous set of lyrics around. Some songs flat-out just don't work creatively for me.

  • I discovered that the most dangerous mask is the one worn by intelligent people because they are clever at their disguise.

  • I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.

  • The Bible calls us to love our neighbors, and to do justice and love kindness, not to indiscriminately kill one another.

  • God answers all true prayer, either in kind or in kindness.

  • The level of our success is limited only by our imagination and no act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.

  • Money is but one venue for generosity. Kindness is an even more valuable currency.

  • Good satire goes beyond the specific point it’s trying to make and teaches you how to think critically. Even after your favorite cartoonist retires or [Stephen] Colbert wraps it up, you’re not left believing everything they’re telling you.

  • Right now I'm doing four shows at a time, trying to read four outlines every week, four scripts every week, and watching four rough cuts; it's a lot of good work. It's fun to do it, but it does wear you out.
