More quotes by Alan King
Marriage is nature's way of keeping us from fighting with strangers.
Alan King
That's the great thing about New Year's, you get to be a year older. For me, that wasn't such a joke, because my birthday was always around this time. When I was a kid, my father used to tell me that everybody was celebrating my birthday. That's what the trees are all about.

Eating takes a special talent. Some people are much better at it than others. In that way, it is like sex, and as with sex, it's more fun with someone who really likes it. I can't imagine having a lasting friendship with anyone who is not interested in food.
Alan King
I don't mind being 65, but nobody is gonna tell me to come in at 5:30 to have the early bird special.

Comedy is an amazing calling. Once you get that first laugh, it's hard to turn away. Then, of course, you're hooked and you have to learn how to survive in the business.
Alan King
I'm only... I'm only unhappy when the reviews are bad, but give me a good review and I'm a... I'm just screaming all over the place with joy.

As life's pleasures go, food is second only to sex. Except for salami and eggs. Now that's better than sex, but only if the salami is thickly sliced.
Alan King
I think one of the big things about comedy is the ability for the audience to identify.

Banks have a new image. Now you have 'a friend,' your friendly banker. If the banks are so friendly, how come they chain down the pens?
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.
Alan King
You do live longer with bran, but you spend the last fifteen years on the toilet.
Alan King
My favorite way to spend Saturday is in and out of bed, watching sports on TV and eating.
Alan King
I won't eat in a place that has suits of armor.
Alan King
If you stop and think about it, nearly all great humor is at the expense of someone or something.
Alan King
Modesty is not one of my virtues.
Alan King
If you want to read about love and marriage, you've got to buy two separate books.
Alan King
When I was in the hospital they gave me apple juice every morning, even after I told them I didn't like it. I had to get even. One morning, I poured the apple juice into the specimen tube. The nurse held it up and said, 'It's a little cloudy.' I took the tube from her and said, 'Let me run it through again,' and drank it. The nurse fainted.
Alan King
I had a sympathetic role in 'thirtysomething,' and in two weeks I'm going to do the role again. But in the movies, I just love the heavies. It's much more fun. Villains are a ball. People have been laughing at me for 50 years, so I love to sit in the back of the theater and listen to them hate me.
Alan King
The world is full of little dictators trying to run your life.
Alan King
My father helped me leave. He said, 'It's all out there, it's not here.'
