“Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
I'd always assumed that I would die at about the same age as my dad - he was 45. I am five years in credit now. I can't get my head around the fact that I am older than he was - ever.
I think in my case, I had no choice but to have a good sense of humor. I grew up with my dad, Danny Thomas, and George Burns and Bob Hope and Milton Berle and Sid Caesar and all those guys were at our house all the time and telling jokes and making each other laugh.
I'm one of five kids and we lived on a massive farm in New South Wales with my mum and dad.
I can talk to my dad like he's my manager, and put 'Dad' on the back burner. We've been doing it since I was 13.
