If you get into a Broadway show and it doesn't work, you're a failure. And if it does work, you may be stuck for who knows how long. It just doesn't sound great to me!

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

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

Animal lover that I am, a cougar I am not.

If you have one good series, you know, it's a blessing. Two good series is unusual. Three is a phenomenon, but right now, I'm working with these wonderful women on 'Hot in Cleveland,' and Valerie Bertinelli, and Wendy Malick and Jane Leeves are like, it's like the buddy-ship we had on 'Golden Girls' and 'Mary Tyler Moore.'

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

When we started in television, there was that magic box in the corner of the room, and 'Oh my gosh - look what it's doing!'
