The world is full of little dictators trying to run your lif... - Alan King

"And humor has always been a weapon. You want to get even on somebody? You want to attack somebody? Make fun of them."

"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.'"

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

"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."
