Accepting his award at the 2000 Golden Globes: "In the spirit of Ving Rhames, I'm going to give this award to Jack Lemmon." "If you think it's difficult to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball." "The worst part about being me is when people want me to make them laugh." "I won't quit until I get run over by a truck, a producer or a critic." "It's hard enough to write a good drama, it's much harder to write a good comedy, and it's hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is." "Nobody deserves this much money - certainly not an actor."
