Marriage is nature's way of keeping us from fighting with strangers.

Eating takes a special talent. Some people are much better at it than others. In that way, it is like sex, and as with sex, it's more fun with someone who really likes it. I can't imagine having a lasting friendship with anyone who is not interested in food.

Larry David finds a way to make jokes about the Holocaust. It would never have occurred to me. And it was funny.

Comedy is a reflection. We create nothing. We set no styles, no standards. We're reflections. It's a distorted mirror in the fun house. We watch society. As society behaves, then we have the ability to make fun of it.

My mother kept the house clean and we ate good. I didn't know we were poor until I started giving interviews.

Everything my mother made had to cook for 80 hours, and when she made matzoh balls she didn't know fluffy. Everything sank.

Modesty is not one of my virtues.
