Alan King's Quotes

  • Modesty is not one of my virtues.
  • Comedy is a reflection. We create nothing. We set no styles, no standards. We're reflections. It'a a distorted mirror in the fun house. We watch society. As society behaves, then we have the ability to make fun of it.
  • [on Vanessa Redgrave's anti-Zionist remarks] I am that Zionist hoodlum she was talking about. It's just a pity I wasn't on the platform tonight. I would have gone for the jugular.
  • [to a 1960s all-black audience] Before I go any further, you should understand you've been backing the wrong 'King'. He wants to get you into Woolworth's. I'll get you into '21'.
  • Jews shouldn't play golf, it's not for them. We aggravate too easily. We carry 2,000 years of persecution on us. And then all of a sudden to go out there and beat a ball into the ground is a little too much.
