I think it's like a relay race. You run, and you hand over the baton, and your kids pick it up. They take the stuff they want, throw the rest away, and keep running. That's what life is about.

I'd like to think there is a Heaven, and it starts from the happiest day in your life.

When you're the host of the Academy Awards, and you grew up watching Bob Hope and Johnny Carson, and now it's your turn, and you get a chance to run with the baton on the relay for a while, I really embraced it and just really loved being there.

What's so fascinating and frustrating and great about life is that you're constantly starting over, all the time, and I love that.

I think I've far exceeded what I ever thought I could possibly do.

I think I survived by running away some. Running away to work.
