Never having alone time is real tough on people.

In Russia we only had two TV channels. Channel One was propaganda. Channel Two consisted of a KGB officer telling you: Turn back at once to Channel One.

In America, you break law. In Soviet Russia, law breaks you! In America, you watch Big Brother. In Soviet Russia, Big Brother watch you!

If you have something important to say, Broadway and New York are great places to say it.

My father described this tall lady who stands in the middle of the New York harbor, holding high a torch to welcome people seeking freedom in America. I instantly fell in love.

I fed my ego, but not my soul.

After the Soviet Union collapsed, people thought I wasn't funny anymore.
