Humor is like a rhythm; it's like music. And you throw a couple of extra syllables in, you wreck the beat and you kill the laugh. So I try to follow the writers very carefully because I know how carefully they worked to do it that way.

The film industry gives you the opportunity to meet interesting people.

I just make it my business to get along with people so I can have fun. It's that simple.

I really don't care with whom you sleep. I just care what kind of a decent human being you are.

You can always tell about somebody by the way they put their hands on an animal.

I'm a big cockeyed optimist. I try to accentuate the positive as opposed to the negative.

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.
