I recently watched that Lucie Arnaz-produced documentary [Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie, 1992] about her parents [Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz], and I saw so much of my own childhood there.

I love New York. I was sad, depressed and incredibly moved by our fellow countrymen and what they've done. I wanted to give people a chance to see something funny, have a distraction.

The big-name stars . . . are always going to be playing what they've played before if they want to remain so-called A-list stars. That's why someone like Johnny Depp is doing more interesting roles not caring about the size of the movie.

Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty.

I don't know what that weid fantasy is that makes people go, "Oh, you must have had a great childhood."

I don't need a compass to tell me which way the wind shines !

Whatever talent I had, I'm sure it helped that my parents were in the business and that I grew up around actors, comedians and directors.
