My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad.

What I like doing most is making children laugh.

I don't know nothing about communism. But I know the Albanians loved me. Same reason as anyone else loves me. Because I made them laugh.

I was carrying my friend in his casket to put him in the hearse, and I was thinking, 'I need to write a song for this guy, because he always told me I would have a No. 1 song.'

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

Earth is the cradle of humanity, but one cannot remain in the cradle forever.
