'Mary Tyler Moore' was - it was my first big hit.

The audience today has heard every joke. They know every plot. They know where you're going before you even start. That's a tough audience to surprise, and a tough audience to write for. It's much more competitive now, because the audience is so much more - I want to say sophisticated.

All creatures must learn to coexist. That's why the brown bear and the field mouse can share their lives in harmony. Of course, they can't mate or the mice would explode.

I go out to the kitchen to feed the dog, but that's about as much cooking as I do.

It's your outlook on life that counts. If you take yourself lightly and don't take yourself too seriously, pretty soon you can find the humor in our everyday lives. And sometimes it can be a lifesaver.

There is no fool like an old fool.

I'm wearing a put together from a little shop that I favor called The Back of My Closet.
