Andy Kaufman: When you go through a tunnel - you're going on a train - you go through a tunnel, the tunnel is dark, but you're still going forward. Just remember that. But if you're not going to get up on stage for one night because you're discouraged or something, then the train is going to stop. Everytime you get up on stage, if it's a long tunnel, it's going to take a lot of times of going on stage before things get bright again. You keep going on stage, you go forward. Every night you go on stage... (edit) Andy Kaufman: I try to please people, to give them a good time, but I refuse to make my act conform to traditional show-biz standards of entertainment. There's a little voice that says, "Oh, no, you can't do that, that's breaking all the rules." That's the voice of show business. Then this other little voice says, "Try it". And most of the time, when the voice comes on and says, "No", that's the time it works. (edit) Andy Kaufman: When I was 7, I believed Howdy Doody was in a little world inside that glowing box. I was hypnotized and I wanted to go away, to be with him in there. When I was 8, I started doing party magic shows for kids - grown-ups had to leave. Then later, at college in Boston, I worked up my own kid's show, "Uncle Andy's Fun House". (edit) Andy Kaufman: There's no drama like wrestling. (edit) Andy Kaufman: My mother sent me to psychiatrists since the age of four because she didn't think little boys should be sad. When my brother was born, I stared out the window for days. Can you imagine that? (edit)
