Mr. Brooks and I have been friends forever. He is in seventh heaven with his new success on Broadway.

I was at dinner with Gene Wilder and imitated Ethel Barrymore for everyone

My mother had lots and lots of children who didnt survive.

I think I was immediately fed, so food became a very important part of my life.

I'm actually a thin serious person but I play fat and funny, but only for the movies.

Mel is nuts. He puts on a suit and a tie and acts like a normal person so people think he's okay. He's definitely out in left field. He's got the ambition of a boy.

I'd rather be at home with 12 people around the table.
