I think of Mike Myers as the Buster Keaton of today. I think he's brought us something so special.

Pets have more love and compassion in them than most humans.

Some folks believe that global warming doesn't exist and that the environment doesn't need any help. I tend not to listen to them.

I liked working in a series, going to work every day and not having to leave town for long locations. I was producing them and building an audience.

Occasionally, on screen, Barbara [Stanwyck] had a wary, watchful quality about her that I've noticed in other people who had bad childhoods; they tend to keep an eye on life because they don't think it can be trusted. After her mother was killed by a streetcar, she had been raised in Brooklyn by her sisters, and from things she said, I believe she had been abused as a child. She had lived an entirely different life than mine, that's for sure, which is one reason I found her so fascinating. I think her early life was one reason she had such authenticity as an actress, and as a person.

When I can't sleep, I'll start thinking about how many shows I've done, count up the number of television shows and movies.

Television is just amazing - how many people see it and how many people recognize you, and I think once you've had the opportunity and have been in front of the public, it's very flattering to have people come up and say hello to you. It's a tremendous industry. I've been in places where people come out of the woodwork. And you would never think - small towns in France or traveling through Europe - and there are so many of those people there that recognize you, and you've been in their homes. I find it to be a very flattering thing.
