I don't have a great talent for explaining myself in acting because I can't explain it.

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

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.

I like being talked about. I think some people really don't... because they're secure enough and they don't need that.

I love Birmingham, Michigan. It's lovely - you know, it's very similar to the Hamptons.

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

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

I don't have to go to a doctor and have my face changed. It terrifies me that women do that.

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