And humor has always been a weapon. You want to get even on... - Alan King

"We get the worrywart, the hypochondriac, the money-grubbing miser, the intractable negotiator... Some would say certain of these refer to the stereotypical, or 'stage' Jew. But objectively speaking, the only crime in humor is an unfunny joke."

"If you stop and think about it, nearly all great humor is at the expense of someone or something."

"There's a charm, there's a rhythm, there's a soul to Jewish humor. When I first saw Richard Pryor perform, I told him, 'You're doing a Jewish act.'"

"The world is full of little dictators trying to run your life."
