With me, personal relationships are like my religion. I care that deeply about them. I am the complete opposite of a manipulative smoothie.

From Charles Grodin

I would rather people take me as straightforward and not have to wonder if I'm kidding or not. Because what I have to say, and what I'm interested in doing and communicating, is worthwhile enough that I don't want to muck it up with people being confused about where I'm really coming from.

From Charles Grodin

I don't want to have anything to do with the government. And yet if we don't have any regulations, there goes civilization, there goes security, and there goes protecting you against what people are going to sell you.

From Charles Grodin

I wouldn't even dare read the Torah, let alone attempt a witty observation on the Torah.

From Charles Grodin

I never mean to be disrespectful, and I don't mean to be a wise guy.

From Charles Grodin

I do everything from home. I broadcast commentaries for CBS News Radio every day - from home, on a disk that I mail in. I write a weekly op-ed piece for the 'New York Daily News,' and any books or plays or movies that I'm crazy enough to write, I do that from home.

From Charles Grodin

I don't accept what people say. I took something to be copied recently, to be enlarged and blown up, and they said it couldn't be done, and I went somewhere five minutes away, and they did it.

From Charles Grodin

I don't miss acting. I don't even see movies. I don't see plays. I don't watch television.

From Charles Grodin

I started in movies in 1963, and the first big one was 'Rosemary's Baby' in 1967. While you don't notice it right away, it finally dawns on you that 80% of the time, you're doing nothing.

From Charles Grodin

Good acting is thinking in front of the camera. I just do that and apply a sense of humor to it. You have to trust the audience to get it.
