The kinds of shows that seem to work now, the comedy shows, are those which require very little attention. They're superficial and I like articulate comedy. I don't know how to do the other, so I won't consider television until the audience's taste changes.

I live in a kind of controlled awareness. I wouldn't call it fear, but it's an awareness. I know I have a responsibility to behave in a certain way. I'm able to do that.

Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you grow.

I really consider myself a Californian, but I have those great comedic roots in Brooklyn.

There are certain things about me that I will never tell to anyone because I am a very private person. But basically, what you see is who I am. I'm independent, I do like to be liked, I do look for the good side of life and people. I'm positive, I'm disciplined, I like my life in order, and I'm neat as a pin.

I've had the fame and the joy of getting laughter - those are gifts.

I think marriage, in its loosest sense, is people committing to each other saying I love you and I like being with you and that is wonderful. I don't see the need to formalize it unless you plan to have children and you want the fair distribution of assets.
