“Comedy is tragedy revisited.”

“It was my Fat Elvis period. I was eating and drinking like a pig. I was depressed and I was crying out for help. It's real. And I meant it.”

“It is regrettable that people think about our monetary system, and of our economic structure, only in times of depression.”

“If this depression stays with us, the loser Tuesday is going to be the winner.”
