I was eating in a Chinese restaurant downtown. There was a dish called Mother and Child Reunion. It's chicken and eggs. And I said, I gotta use that one.

If you know anything about ducks, you know a baby duck will imprint itself on you. It misses its mother.

I ate some pretty funky, authentic Chinese food in Hong Kong. There was an egg from some bird that's not a chicken. I can't remember what it was, but it was green and brown and not very tasty.

I'd gone into that restaurant and sat down and the waitress had taken my order and everybody else had seen me with this what must have looked like this creature, this animal, sitting on the top of my head!

When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck.

People eat duck and you think, well, we've got loads of chickens, leave the ducks alone!

I had a few ducks as a kid.

My dear Mama, you are definitely the hen who hatched a famous duck.

I walked out of the Chinese restaurant with a fat check, a record deal, and a box of shrimp egg foo yung!

I was considered an ugly duckling.
