Food is a passion. Food is love.

You're at the top of your game if you do comedy.

I've dodged bullets but there's no scandal in my life.

Every day is Valentine's Day! I'm a hopeless romantic.

I guess I work well with others I handle younger actors well.

Definitely not a sitcom, that's my first condition. No sitcoms.

I think you can tell the human condition better through comedy.

Sometimes I just walk through; I just show up, as in The Other Sister.

Yes, and it's my third movie with Richard. American Gigolo was my first.

I never learned to cook; I was a little spoiled as far as that's concerned.

I work with Garry no matter what. What I wanted to keep going was the streak.

On those, I've said it before, I work free. It's the waiting they pay me for.

Pretty Woman was the easiest job I've ever done. I just wore the right toupee.

I started in radio, again accidentally. I wasn't looking for this kind of work at all.

I'm attracted to pathos, because life is mostly pathos. I've had a lot of it in my life.

Which reminds me of a fortune cookie: you often find your destiny on the path you take to avoid it.

You know, a low budget, you have to work harder. You have to plan well; you don't have much time to rehearse.

You can trust a Neil Simon script. Every dot. Every dash; that pause means something. He takes all the jokes out, practically.

It's the strings vibrating at the same time but separately that makes a good marriage. It messy, it's complicated and it's quite wonderful.

I started in 1946 in radio. I was ten years old. I was discovered singing in a school play. Someone was in the audience and it's six degrees of separation.

I used to work, part time, in a deli, in those days when your parents made you work just so you should know what work was like. And you'd make 4, 5, 6, ten dollars.

The fact that that's the difference between Mexicans and Cubans is pronounced. It's so immediately recognizable, the way a Cuban speaks, the way a Cuban moves the hands.

During the darkest periods in recent history, of course, the most subversive things you could do is think, read if you can get the material and remind yourself that love exists.

I don't wonder about anything. I'm too old to wonder. I think the most important thing is to wake-up with a pulse. I look in the obituary columns. If I'm not in it, I get out of bed.

After you free yourself from the incredible expectations of love through the media from the time you were so high, you realise that it's the spaces between the notes that make music.

I love Russian, because it's delicious to speak like that. If you have to speak French, you can also do that, because it's not difficult. Accents are a cool thing to do. And I love doing them.

I'm a parent, especially when you've had the intense parenting the way I had. It's all in the bank. It's all in the great experience bank. Those are your secrets. That's the stuff that makes your work rich, that's what you dip into.

I love the fact that it starts from there, and you don't know where it's gonna go. Wait long enough - love will find you. Everything's a surprise. When you think you've got it all figured out... as Emerson said, the dice of God are always loaded.

Many times, a child's struggle against hunger begins before he or she is born because the mother is undernourished. Making sure prenatal care and proper nutrition are available for expectant mothers in need is a critical part of ending childhood hunger.
