A celebrity is any well-known TV or movie star who looks like he spends more than two hours working on his hair.

Thankfully, perseverance is a great substitute for talent.

I did not become successful in my work through embracing or engaging in celebrity culture. I never signed away my privacy in exchange for success.

Celebrity culture has gone crazy, and I think the reason is that real news is just not bearable, and it also seems impossible to change anything.

I was very interested in vaudeville. It was the only sort of discipline that was a five-minute act on stage, which is what I really enjoyed and saw myself doing. And I bought books on it.

'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' is a good one because it not only turned out, I think, to be a really funny movie but it was also a delight to shoot. We were in the South of France, working with Glenne Headly and Michael Caine and Frank Oz the director - who were just fun.
