My mother was very funny. My dad had a great sense of humor. My grandmother, too.
I think the hardest thing to do in the world, show-business-wise, is write comedy.
I loved the Kennedy Center Honors because you just sit there, smile, wave, and cry.
I have an iPhone, and I can text, and I can use the phone, and I can even take pictures with it.
Jimmy Stewart and Lucille Ball were so unique.
We all get where we're going by circuitous journeys, and some of the setbacks are warranted.
I very much enjoyed doing 'Law & Order,' playing a killer - that was fun, and they had a family feel around the set, so it was a happy show to do even though the subject matter was quite the opposite.
It costs a lot to sue a magazine, and it's too bad that we don't have a system where the losing team has to pay the winning team's lawyers.
You know, one wonderful thing that came out of my Enquirer experience is that, in my case, it was ruled tabloids are magazines. Which means they didn't have the protection that a newspaper has.
But I don't begrudge anybody, because I know how hard it is to have that dream and to make it happen, whether or not it's just to put a roof over your head and food on the table.
I loved doing 'The Family' with Eunice and Mama. They were very interesting because there were no jokes written into those sketches. It was all character-driven. And sometimes it got a little heavy.
My interesting diet tips are eat early and don't nosh between meals. I mean, I can pack it away.
I don't eat much meat, fish, or poultry.
Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.
But I didn't ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn't even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh.
What I like to write about is stuff I know. I don't think I could write a novel. I don't think I have it in me to come up with those kinds of characters.
Originally, I came from Texas, and we lived on - I guess you'd call it welfare, what we called relief.
I eat very well, and I do Pilates.
My preference is for people who can do sketch comedy or situational comedy, where it's not a joke, but it's telling a story.
Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own.
