Billy Crystal

At 60, I could do the same things I could do at 30, if I could only remember what those things are.

I'm comfortable being old... being black... being Jewish.

Nobody is more truthful when he's acting than De Niro.

My parents always looked like they loved being together. That's what I took from them, and that's how my wife and I are. I still feel like we're dating.

One night, I wrote down all the things I was waiting to do with my little granddaughter, and it became a book, 'I Already Know I Love You.' It was one of those really lovely things in life.

That's still the greatest high, that feeling of being in control of 2,000 people. It's me and them, and I like the odds. It's not even so much the funny. It's getting them quiet. In the quiet moments in '700 Sundays,' I just really love that they're getting moved.

I love Mickey Mantle. Would I have felt the same if I had known when I was eight years old what I know now?

That's the thing that I'm really most proud of: that I'm still... people still would like to see me. I love seeing them.

Doing my Broadway show '700 Sundays' reminded me how much I love working in front of an audience.

My granddaughter's birth has made me want to create things she will love.

That's the thing about jazz: it's free flowing, it comes from your soul.

I still don't love the darkness, though I've learned to smile in it a little bit, now and then.
