“Havin' fun while freedom fightin' must be one of those lunatic Texas t...” — Molly Ivins Quote

Havin' fun while freedom fightin' must be one of those lunatic Texas traits we get from the water - which is known to have lithium in it - because it goes all the way back to Sam Houston, surely the most lovable, the most human, and the funniest of all the great men this country has ever produced.

One thing I have learned from Johnny Faulk, Texas, and life, is that since you don't always win, you got to learn to enjoy just fightin' the good fight.

I have been attacked by Rush Limbaugh on the air, an experience somewhat akin to being gummed by a newt. It doesn't actually hurt, but it leaves you with slimy stuff on your ankle.

Fourteen-year-old boys are not part of a well-regulated militia. Members of wacky religious cults are not part of a well-regulated militia. Permitting unregulated citizens to have guns is destroying the security of this free state.

That is what sucks about improv a little bit, is that some of the funniest stuff actually can't be in the film because it doesn't make sense for the plot, but it's the funniest stuff ever.

I just wanted to make the stupidest, funniest thing possible. My version of Mary Todd Lincoln is basically just me.

My dad sings, and my mom is the funniest person you'll ever meet. You put them together, and out comes the Feldstein children.

I have found myself, not talking about anything super specific in my life, but when I've had really dark moments, I find that's when I can be my funniest. You kind of just let go. It's almost like the worst has happened, that there's a looseness.
