I was lucky to be with Johnny... he taught me a lot about fame.

When I was a child, I was referred to as the Danny Kaye of the family, because I was always impersonating and mimicking people. I was a song and dance man.

I so desperately wanted to be Mr. Somebody. Instead, I was the little brother, included to a point.

I always wanted to be Robin Hood or John the Baptist when I was growing up.

When I was a little girl - well, like, a teenager - I wanted to be Sam Jackson. I always wanted to be men.

I never wanted Mary Poppins to be my nanny. I wanted to be her when I grew up.

I was born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite. Imagine signing that autograph! You'd get a broken arm. So I changed my name to Michael Caine after Humphrey Bogart's 'The Caine Mutiny,' which was playing in the theater across from the telephone booth where I learned that I'd gotten my first TV job.

First, I wanted to be Chris Farley. When I was growing up, Chris Farley was still on the stages and fun to us. In my house, John Belushi was king. I didn't grow up when he was - I was born in '78 - the reruns of Belushi in 'Animal House,' and knowing he was at Second City, he was viewed as a king in my house.

I decided that I was going to be the Kennedy who makes her own name and finds her own job and works like a dog. My comeuppance was when Arnold got elected - I became the Kennedy who was married to the governor.
