"I took my son to Coney island,..." - Quote by Rodney Dangerfield

“When I got back into show business in 1961, I felt - for obvious reasons - that nothing in my life went right, and I realized that millions of people felt the same way. So when I first cameback my catch phrase was "nothing goes right." Early on, that was my setup for a lot of jokes.”

“Comedy is in my blood. Too bad it's not in my act.”

“Every time I get in an elevator, the operator says the same thing to me: 'Basement?'”

“I do have a natural sense for business, which I think I get from my Dad.”

“I was neglected by my family because I had disappointed them - I'd run away from being forced into an arranged marriage, which was a big blow to them.”

“It is of no account; after all, the old bird does not fly far from his nest.”

“When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable If I have not an excellent library.”

“I do like to have guns around. I don't like to carry them. But I like - if somebody is going to come into my house and I have not put out the welcome mat, I want to stop them.”

“Anecdote: A house that is rooted to one spot but can travel as quickly as you change your mind and is complete in itself is surely the most desirable of houses. Our modern house with its cumbersome walls and its foundations planted deep in the ground is nothing better than a prison and more and more prison like does it become the longer we live there, and wear fetters of a association and sentiment.”
