My whole life has been about changing negatives into positives. I got famous, then I got cancer, and now I live to talk about it. Sometimes the best gifts come in the ugliest packages.

I did a terrible television pilot that was so badly written and dumb that it became a turning point for me and I decided that I would never accept a job just because I needed the money.

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.

Though I'm not religious in the classical sense I did partake in Passover.

our greatest compatibility was in how we complemented each other's neuroses.

If I go to a concert or sporting event I usually go in a VIP entrance. And leave the same way.

Well I could have been just a writer. I had been a hair dresser. I could have stuck with that.
