And it's based on loyalty more than anything else. We take great glee that in a business that isn't very loyal, we are very loyal to each other.
Definitely not a sitcom, that's my first condition. No sitcoms.
Food is a passion. Food is love.
I guess I work well with others I handle younger actors well.
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.
I never learned to cook; I was a little spoiled as far as that's concerned.
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 was working for Neil Simon on Broadway.
I work with Garry no matter what. What I wanted to keep going was the streak.
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'm attracted to pathos, because life is mostly pathos. I've had a lot of it in my life.
I've dodged bullets but there's no scandal in my life.
My toupees, I decide what I want to wear depending on what character I see in my eye.

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