And why not do something new every day of your life? Change! Change!

Audiences are not strangers to me. They're the best friends I've got in my life.

If somebody doesn't have any talent, get off the stage! You're wasting my time.

There's nothing attractive about doing a documentary. Nothing. It's hard, hard work, and I find having all the attention of the day on me a very unattractive proposition.

You cannot tell an audience a lie. They know it before you do; before it's out of your mouth, they know it's a lie.

When you're dealing with your life, my God, you gotta tell the truth.

I don't wear a wig. I'd feel terrible onstage with a wig. I hate to be so 'Actors Studio'-ish, but I like to feel it's me out there.
