I must confess I took a couple or three jobs just for the money.

Some movie I was in, I forget which one, some awful little movie, a reviewer said, What is Jessica Walter doing in this movie? And I said, Hello? Trying to make a living?

When I read a script, I have to see the funny, and if I can see it's funny, it helps me to be able to transmit that.

I don't think comedy is something you learn. I think it's something that's either there or it's not.

My dad used to sit me on his knee and read from the Bible to us. We were a praying family. Ours was a family of love and a family of prayer.

I grew up in a military family, so I liked being in an atmosphere where there was almost that feeling.

I am basically in awe of every family's ability to make decisions for their kids.

My mother was a Muslim and dad a Hindu. I got the best upbringing that anyone could. Never did I see any angst in my family owing to that: each practiced their own religion. My existence is the harmony that these two communities can achieve if they try.
