Tom Smothers

Every day I think, 'Gosh, I wish I could be like George Carlin, Bill Maher: I want that edge.' But every time I start to get that edgy thing, I get kind of mean.

I found out that I couldn't have a nervous breakdown. I tried a couple of times, but it just didn't work out. My mind, my body wouldn't let me.

Our mother was so public - we always talked about her. But with her passing, all of a sudden we don't even want to talk about her.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

A lot of people think I'm a comedian.

I think Chelsea Handler is the funniest woman.
