I started writing plays in around 1967, and at a certain point, I thought, 'I'm writing plays, I should learn about acting and what it is.' So I went to the HB Studio in New York, and I was there for about nine months.

I am recognized a lot for Clueless, but I am recognized a great deal for The Princess Bride. I dont know... maybe everybody who has seen that movie just goes out on the street.

For some reason, people find me funny. It's quite hard to define why a thought is funny. It's even harder to define why a person would be funny. It's a word that I can't define at all. But whether I know quite what it is or not, I seem to be it.

I do things, and other people laugh at them. I rarely know what the joke is supposed to be or why they're laughing.

You know, I haven't written as much as most other writers. Certainly maybe those who keep a more regular schedule accomplish more.

I never planned to be an actor. It turned out I could make a living doing it.

In my early 20s, I studied history and politics, and I really thought that perhaps I would devote my life to that.
