I had a dream that Connie Chung is doing a newscast about my death and they show a clip from Soap.

The inspiration was this great group of 40 or 50 relatives, sometimes for Thanksgiving or Passover or something and my brothers would just go up and make them laugh.

[My mother] is the greatest hero I'll ever know because she kept us all together, she made sure we all graduated college. She always believed in us no matter what we do. My older brother Joel became an art teacher; my brother Rip ultimately became a television producer and singer and actor himself.

I had really good hearing and when you're scared it gets heightened so you hear scratching noises or something.

Nothing can take the sting out of the world’s economic problems like watching millionaires present each other with golden statues.

Nobody is more truthful when he's acting than De Niro.

I have 40-something intros [that Davis Jr. did]; all are different, none of them happened. And it was hilarious.
