Billy Crystal knows how to make people laugh. He's got 30 years on stage... there's no telling him what's funny.

Nothing reinforces a professional relationship more than enjoying success with someone.

No matter what I have to say, I'm still trying to say it in comedic form.

I had a lot of fun working with John Candy. We had a pretty good rapport.

My characters aren't losers. They're rebels. They win by their refusal to play by everyone else's rules.

Acting is all about big hair and funny props... All the great actors knew it. Olivier knew it, Brando knew it.

If Chevy Chase had not been an actor, he might have been a very popular guy in advertising or whatever field he would have gone into, because of his charisma.

I always claim that the writer has done 90 percent of the director's work.

I collect spores, molds, and fungus.

I was the little guy who knew how to tie a necktie. It came from having absentee parents. They were tremendously loving and caring people who, by circumstance, had to go to work.

Never hit anyone in anger, unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it.

Today is the best day to begin your life again and plan the rest of your life.

With me, what you see is what you get. I try to treat everyone with respect.

About my method of work: first it’s the state of mind—Elation (joy).

Do you want to know what you are? You are a creator. At every moment you are creating. The real question is, what are you creating?

Attain to the place where no one and no thing can disturb you.

People know that I always do my hair and makeup, but I also love doing crafts. I love getting a blank canvas and painting something.

I'm totally normal. I think it's obnoxious when people demand limos or bodyguards. I eat at McDonald's or Taco Bell. My parents always taught us to be humble. We're not spoiled.

If you have moved over vast territories and dared to love silly things, you will have learned even from the most primitive items collected and put aside in your life.

I believe that the (distorting) mirror which is photography holds an intrinsic, even elemental, relation to writing.
