My father was the funniest guy I ever met. I'm not sure if I stole his stuff or if I inherited it.
The fact was, Ford kept stumbling around. I didn't want him in the White House. I wanted Carter in, and I had a forum of 20 million people watching.
If you're in the White House, it's your house, and you can invite whatever friend you want.
I watched every single Charlie Chaplin film.
With Clinton, there's no question that I would have made fun of his out-and-out lying. But he's also a good friend.
Step by step, we will break this cycle of silence, poor information and stigma.
Television doesn't make stars. It's the written media, the press, that makes stars.
I have three daughters. I wanted them to be raised where there are real seasons and where everyone their age wasn't trying to get into movies.

All my children inherited perfect pitch.

I learned a lot about handling fans from established stars.
