Being in the same room with people and creating something together is a good thing.
I loved running, but all of a sudden everything hurt so much. I started cycling when Zelda was born.
When Jonathan Winters died, it was like, 'Oh, man!' I knew he was frail, but I always thought he was going to last longer. I knew him as being really funny, but at the same time, he had a dark side.
I've had a lot of people tell me they watched 'Old Dogs' with their kids and had a good time.
The essential truth is that sometimes you're worried that they'll find out it's a fluke, that you don't really have it. You've lost the muse or - the worst dread - you never had it at all. I went through all that madness early on.
You'll notice that Nancy Reagan never drinks water when Ronnie speaks.
I loved school, maybe too much, really. I was summa cum laude in high school. I was driven that way.
I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone.
I only ever play Vegas one night at a time. It's a hideous, gaudy place; it may not be the end of the world per se, but you can certainly see it from there.
What's right is what's left if you do everything else wrong.
I think 'Dead Poets' was probably my favorite, just to get started with the idea of doing a movie that people treated as more than a movie.
One of my favourite actors of all time, although he doesn't necessarily play villains, is Peter Lorre.
I'm much more open to being a supporting actor right now. At the age of 60, I'll be second fiddle. Fine. I'm happy to do it.
Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they've got nothing to lose.
With film roles, it just has to be a character either I haven't done before, or a role with somebody really interesting or with an interesting person or group of people.
I write on big yellow legal pads - ideas in outline form when I'm doing stand-up and stuff. It's vivid that way. I can't type it into an iPad - I think that would put a filter into the process.
You can start any 'Monty Python' routine and people finish it for you. Everyone knows it like shorthand.
Gentiles are people who eat mayonnaise for no reason.
A lot of vets like 'Good Morning Vietnam' - I get great letters from guys.
Politics is so personal, vicious and immediate, how are you going to get anything done? Even the local politics where I live have gotten so ugly.
