I get just as much of a thrill out of constructing a good sentence that gets a laugh at the end as I do from a joke.
I signed contracts I didn't think were a good idea but people around me said it was the way forward. It saddens me that I'll never own my first album ever, which sucks.
I don't know what's going on that I'm hosting the Emmys during really hard times. But I guess it's an honor and a privilege that I'm the one who gets to try to walk that line of making people feel good.
Slow and steady wins the race. I feel like I know in my bones if we're doing a good job and continue to do a good job, the ratings will come.
I don't think I would have been a good mother. Being a parent brings immense responsibility. It's a Herculean task. It would be almost too much for me.
I was utilized because I have a certain face that works well in cinema, and I'm used to making myself look as good as possible.
What good is a writer if he can't destroy literature? And us... what good are we if we don't help as much as we can in that destruction?

My parents divorced when I was seven. Because divorce is messy, for good or ill, they sent me to boarding school.
I don't think anyone's particularly conscious of thinking suits are the thing, but when you see a comedian on stage in jeans and a t-shirt it doesn't matter how good they are - it always looks like amateur hour when they walk onto the stage.
A good fighter usually knows, to within a very few seconds, when a three-minute round is going to end.
I was a pretty good fighter. But it was the writers who made me great.
When Elvis was performing, you just tried to figure out a way to get there. I think he set all the records and anyone that has ever had the good fortune to see him, you know what it's like to try to get in to see Elvis. It was impossible, practically...
There are some good songs, but not the kind of song-writing that I remember, that I like. Springsteen still does it. Paul Simon, and there are also good writers, but that doesn't dominate the charts.
I'm not a good dancer, but I try. I don't really have the moves.
Cinema explains American society. It's like a Western, with good guys and bad guys, where the weak don't have a place.
You couldn't really like a bad guitar in 1960 'cause everybody was pretty good.
I'm a pretty private person, so I'd like to say I'm a good ear and that I keep my mouth shut.
