I don't know who the hell Paul Lynde is, or why he's funny, and I prefer it to be a mystery to me.

I'm Liberace without a piano.

Outsiders develop humor as a defense; why do you think most comedians are gay or Jewish?
Paul Lynde

I often go on a liquid fast a couple of days a week. I never take just water. Instead, I'll have maybe six glasses of vegetable and fruit juices a day.
Paul Lynde
11.
I can't even get three weeks off to have cosmetic surgery.
Paul Lynde
12.
When I said I didn't have a cent, I didn't. I used to get annoyed with people who said they were broke when they had five dollars.

As far as cookbooks go, I think Joy of Cooking is a classic. I've used it over and over again. Julia Child frustrates me. By the time you get all her herbs together, you're exhausted

I have an ulcer. It has an IQ of 185.
Paul Lynde
15.
I don't always prepare such rich meals. Sometimes I'll just serve a simple quiche, salad and dessert for dinner. During the week I try to eat lightly.
Paul Lynde
16.
A room is like a stage. If you see it without lighting, it can be the coldest place in the world.
Paul Lynde

My table seats eight, so that's my maximum. Having a small number of guests is the only way to generate good conversation. Besides, your whole house doesn't get wrecked that way.

If I hadn't become a celebrity, I'd probably be an alcoholic.
Paul Lynde

I have this beautiful antique silver wine decanter that I bought at an auction. I always pour wine from that.

My following is straight. I'm so glad.

Comedy is exaggerated realism. It can be stretched to the almost ludicrous, but it must always be believable.
Paul Lynde
22.
I feel now it's useless to keep hoping. The way things are today, we live in a world that needs laughter, and I've decided if I can make people laugh, I'm making a more important contribution.
Paul Lynde

I laughed all the way through Love Story.

If I ever completely lost my nervousness I would be frightened half to death.

The doctor's name was Sylvia. I told her she'd have a problem with me because Sylvia was my mother's name.
Paul Lynde
26.
The whole romantic part of my life was a wipeout. I didn't even own a belt.
Paul Lynde
27.
I may find something that looks interesting and then go on to alter the recipe by adding spices, things of my own. I also look for time-saving recipes, dishes that can be prepared ahead and stored.

My dad was a ham, too. He could sell those women anything. Of all his sons, I was the only one he could trust to sell as well as he could. I was proud of that.
Paul Lynde
29.
The dining room in my old house was truly magnificent, but by far the worst room for conversation. I'd get up from the table, a very long table, and somebody would always say, Paul, I never got to talk to you.
Paul Lynde

An actor shouldn't undergo psychoanalysis, because there are a lot of things you're better off not knowing.
Paul Lynde
31.
I cant stand those food cult people who bring their own food into the house. All those little thermoses and paper bags-it makes the other guests uncomfortable.
Paul Lynde
32.
I wish I had the nerve not to tip.
Paul Lynde
33.
I was obsessed with being rich and famous.
Paul Lynde
34.
My body may have been abused, but it certainly hasn't been neglected.
Paul Lynde
35.
I'm used to living alone, and I like it that way. You become so selfish living alone...I'd make a terrible husband anyway.
Paul Lynde
36.
Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I'll read the paper or paint the house to keep from starting to memorize. I've never found an easy way.
Paul Lynde
37.
Someday I'm going to go onstage in a dress if I want to.
Paul Lynde
38.
It was the worst moment of my life. The producer came up and talked me back into going on stage.
Paul Lynde
39.
Politicians... talk in generalities and lies, and I think they've caused all our grief. They're so awful, they're really funny. I hate thinking this because my dad loved politics.
Paul Lynde

My sisters said, Why do you make those faces? You make yourself so ugly.
Paul Lynde
41.
My kitchen is not a place to live in. I made it white so I can tell instantly if it's not clean-and I like it clean enough to be able to eat off the floors-or the tables,for that matter.
Paul Lynde
42.
If I'm not working, I don't know what to do.
Paul Lynde
43.
I don't understand why people don't remember my name.
Paul Lynde
