Learn to work with people you wouldn't go to lunch with.

I wrote three years for Lucille Ball. She taught me everything I know about physical comedy...

There's no better satisfaction than writing. I feel that writing is the best and everything else comes with it

I wasn't really that good at being a musician. And then I tried being a standup. I was an actor. I was a photographer. I tried everything. Nothing was particularly working for me, but then, as a musician, I wrote jokes for comics. And they started to buy my jokes, and that's where I thought maybe that might work.

I like to get up in the morning and see people.

I think men should go see Beaches too. I think they'll understand women better.

I grew up with two sisters, no brothers. There was Ronny who produced "Happy Days" for me and my sister Penny who acts, directs - she does everything. So they were very strong women in my life.
