Jerry Stiller's quotes

• The worst thing in this business is to be thought of as a no-talent.
• Never go for the punch line. There might be something funnier on the way.
• I don't think my judgment is that good. I don't know what is funny.
• Hollywood never knew there was a Vietnam War until they made the movie.
• During the Great Depression, when people laughed their worries disappeared. Audiences loved these funny men. I decided to become one.
• Creative comedy is like growing geraniums in a mine field.
• Being on a sitcom stops me from getting Alzheimer's.
• Anne is very forgiving. She doesn't care about money, being rich, or clothes. We never argued about finances.
• Anne hated the idea of putting me down in front of the audience.
• We managed to hang in there. Today when people get married there's a tendency to run away when things get tough. There is a lot of strength in hanging together.
• Money is sensual.
• It can make you sad to look at pictures from your youth. So there's a trick to it. The trick is not to look at the later pictures.
• I've been around the block a lot and I've had a merry trail for 55 years.
• I shave without using shaving cream.
• I loved the idea of touching base with an audience.
• I ask myself why I do it. Maybe it's to prove I'm still around. It takes a lot out of my body. I'm not an NBA player anymore. At my age, very few people can handle it.
• Some of the routines come back very easily. We do it off the top of our heads.
• My father and mother - I figured if I could make them laugh, they would stop fighting. I stole all their material.
• [on meeting Anne Meara, his future wife] She seemed to sense I had no money, so she just ordered coffee. Then she took all the silverware. I picked up her cheque for ten cents and thought, "This is a girl I'd like to hang out with.".
