That's why I'm concerned about education, because it helps our children see other worlds. Education is my next big thing. When music and art were taken out of the schools, I went berserk!

When the movies first started, audiences were dumbstruck to see actresses walking around in evening gowns. They'd never seen anything like that.

I think the essence of humor has not changed. It's all about surprise, facilitating follows. But the context of humor has changed.

Everything is so much vielschmutziger.
