What's so fascinating and frustrating and great about life is that you're constantly starting over, all the time, and I love that.

I didn't rebel as a child. I missed that angry teenager thing.

My granddaughter's birth has made me want to create things she will love.

We were in front of a live audience and I would be acting with the man who was playing my lover, and we used those words, and the audience would titter and laugh, and make me uncomfortable doing the scenes. ... I wanted to sort of stop and yell at them, "What's so funny? What's the matter with you people? Grow up!" It made me very self-conscious at times.

I love doing it [hosting the Oscars] because I love the danger of it and you have to come through and think on your feet. That's why that show, no matter who hosts it, it really should be a fast-thinking comedian who is really quick on their feet that can handle situations that happen, or somebody with that kind of mentality that can capitalize on something.

From the first time I saw Sid Caesar be funny I knew that's what I had to do.

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