- Jonathan Winters: Just going through life is surviving. Going crosstown.

- Jonathan Winters: In doing comedy, I've always had the most fun when I was improvising. And that's the way it has been with art, too. All of my paintings come right out of my head, off the wall thoughts that, with the help of acylics, I've transferred to canvas. I go down to my studio, turn on the radio --you've got to have music!-- and let my mind wander. I let myself get lost; for me, painting has always been a great place to hide.

- Jonathan Winters: A lot of people have been through a hell of a lot more than I have, and they deserve a laugh and if I can bring a laugh to 'em and show 'em some of my problems without getting too heavy, ya know what I mean? I think– I'm an overly sensitive guy, I'm not a crybaby. Larry King [Larry King Live] asked me to come on his show one day and he said, 'I understand you're manic depressive,' and I said, 'Yeah, not only am I that, but just a couple of days ago, they labeled me bipolar. I haven't been to the Arctic or Antarctic, so I don't know what's going on there.'
