To be honest, I didn't even want to leave the forest, but there was this real strong urge in me. My mind was always thinking of funny things.

"I think God gave me an extra immature gene, and I'm wearing it without a belt." --Harland Williams to People, November 3, 1997.
"I've been in three movies ["RocketMan", "Dumb and Dumber" and "Down Periscope"] and all of them had flatulence jokes. I gotta get a script that had Pepto-Bismol soaked in it or something.

The son of an Anglican father and Catholic mother, Williams was baptized Catholic and attended Catholic school but went to weekly Anglican services.
