Don Adams's quotes

  • In restaurants, [people] send over shoes. I'm so tired of it. I keep getting shoes.
  • I hate performing. I don't care about being thought funny; I never did. Sometimes I wonder how I got into comedy at all. I did movie star impressions as a kid in high school. Somehow they just got out of hand.
  • I'm no longer independently wealthy. I guess it's the result of too many wives, too many kids and too much alimony. I've been paying alimony since I was 14 and child support since 15. That's a joke, but not by much.
  • I like getting married, but I don't like BEING married.
  • [on Jim Carrey] I'm not turned on by a comedian who bends over, spreads his cheeks and speaks out of his rear end.
  • I watched Seinfeld (1989) and didn't know what the show was about. It was about nothing!
  • [on Get Smart (1995) and Andy Dick] I knew it wouldn't work but they offered me a lot of money. I knew after the pilot that this kid couldn't carry the show.
