I think the most interesting New Yorkers are the people who were not born here.

I'm a good acting partner for me... when I don't have anyone else, I do really well!

I'm a hotel baby, absolutely: it's hard to think of a hotel I haven't stayed in.

I'm funny when I want to be. And I'm even funny when I don't want to be.

Making clever speeches takes a lot of work and a lot of time.

My idea of serenity - that wonderful word that everybody's trying to get into their life - is call-waiting.

My movie career - if such a thing even exists - is laughable.

New Yorkers stop me on the street all the time to say, 'You're terrific! You're the nuts!'

Talent is seductive.

Talent is very dangerous. It alienates people.

The people in New York - their humor is on a level that goes, uh, very deep, you know?

There will always be ladies who lunch. Always. And apparently they live a long time.

There's certainly nothing lasting and definite about the theater.

There's something that really frightens me - and that's fear.

This age thing is all up to you. It's like happiness is up to you. You just have to understand what it is before you get it.

When I want to do something badly enough, I do it, but there is a practical side of me that thinks I should be paid fairly.

When I'm playing comedy, it is such a crap shoot of what will work and what won't.

Why haven't I made more movies? Nobody asked me.

You can't be funny unless you're tragic, and you can't be tragic unless you're funny.

You cannot tell an audience a lie. They know it before you do; before it's out of your mouth, they know it's a lie.
