Chaos in the midst of chaos isn't funny, but chaos in the midst of order is.
I believe entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art you are an idiot.
[upon receiving a particularly unremarkable award] When I first found out that I was going to win this award, I tried really hard - to care. And then I realized; we are all here tonight, because of a common love: me.
Comedians don't get Oscars, so I gave up on that a long time ago. And I can't really speak about the Oscar-worthiness of my own performance.
What is a movie star? A movie star is many things. They can be tall, short, thin, or skinny. They can be Democrats . . . or skinny.

I love money. I love everything about it. I've bought some pretty good stuff. Got me a $300 pair of socks, got a fur sink. Let's see, bought an electric dog polisher, a gasoline-powered turtleneck sweater, and, of course, I bought some dumb stuff, too.
When I heard that Richard Gere was not nominated for his great performance in Chicago (2002) , I said to myself, 'Welcome to my world, Richard Gere.
