I've always liked older men. They're just more attractive to me. Of course, at my age there aren't that many left!

I don't know how people get so anti-something. Just mind your own business, take care of your own affairs, and don't worry about other people so much.

Sex is pretty funny, let's face it. And the more seriously we take ourselves, the funnier sex gets, I think.

If you call me a comedian I will be very grateful. I will thank you profoundly. No, I love doing comedy. It's fun once in a while to do a serious part but I really enjoy doing comedy because I love to laugh.

I stayed in show business to pay for my animal business.

My mother and dad were big animal lovers, too. I just don't know how I would have lived without animals around me. I'm fascinated by them - both domestic pets and the wild community. They just are the most interesting things in the world to me, and it's made such a difference in my lifetime.

So much of the humor on new sitcoms plays to the lowest common denominator. Wit isn't nearly given as much attention as slipping on a banana peel. So much of the writing is so coarse, so obvious that it doesn't provide a shock, never mind a laugh. What makes something funny is alluding to it without laying it out explicitly. You let the audiences fill in the gaps and that's where the laughs come.
