"It's really unimaginable that I could start where I was and get here today."

-- Steve Harvey

“Why, in truth, sir," was Monte Cristo's reply, "man is but an ugly caterpillar for him who studies him through a solar microscope; but you said, I think, that I had nothing else to do. Now, really, let me ask, sir, have you? â€” do you believe you have anything to do? or to speak in plain terms, do you really think that what you do deserves being called anything?”
“I can think of no better way of redeeming this tragic world today than love and laughter. Too many of the young have forgotten how to laugh, and too many of the elders have forgotten how to love.

“I laugh when I hear the fish in the water is thirsty.”
“My family are very supportive and always have been. They weren't the kind of parents that pushed me into it. I know a lot of parents of kid actors I've worked with have pressured them into acting, but my parents are different. I'm really lucky to have them because they let me make my own decisions.”
