They are funny and also they're funny together. They're a very good team. I wouldn't be surprised if they made more movies together.
My father was a baker and a lot of people do what their families did and I could have done that but I wanted to stay in show business.
And I remember sitting in my car, listening to that night ... when Kennedy and Khrushchev were facing off and it was very scary.
You know ... acting is not very difficult, once you know how to do it, ... And that's ... so beautiful, because you can say that about anything: It's not difficult, once you know how.
I got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell.
I became very critical of zoos and circuses and keeping animals in captivity. I wish it was against the law.
There are people who are able to plan their career, their future, but I've never had any talent for that. I just do things and hope for the best. Say yes, take a chance, and sometimes it's terrific and sometimes it's not.
I don't know why people eat so badly. I could eat pasta all the time, but it really is fattening. And I love ice cream, but I can't do that. There was a time, until I was in my mid-forties, when I could eat a whole pizza - and really, no effect.
I try not to worry about things I can't do anything about.
We have no way of knowing what lays ahead for us in the future. All we can do is use the information at hand to make the best decision possible.
Older actors, and women in particular, are getting more opportunities. It pleases me, its very good news for us. They say that people are living longer, and maybe it's just that there's more of us out there.
I've done a lot of things I cringe when I watch and some things I'm proud of... Movies are strange. You have to be a little bit lucky with them.
I've made one or two movies that I haven't even seen, because they were never released. I have made things that I never even saw. But I will always go see the movie I'm in.
Yeah, well I've always played comedy. My background is musical comedy theatre and that's really where my training is. As an actor, that's my training.
