But unfortunately, when you have a kid, you sometimes eat everything they leave behind. So far today I've had some of her leftover pancakes with peanut butter.

I am vegetarian, though, and so is my family.

I stay in my own little zone, and that's good for me.

I love to cook. I make an award-winning turkey chili.

I was like a race horse, just trying to get into the world.

I definitely have a Fisher voice.

I loved psychology and I loved history.

I took up French boys and wine and I studied psychology.

It's challenging, but you have to at least try to eat right and exercise.

At this point, I wouldn't be able to digest meat, and I don't like eating things with faces.

I've never been a waif; I have a womanly figure and always did.

I'm obsessed with cooking shows, even though they make everything look so easy when it isn't.

You want the best for your kid, but everybody's career is completely different in this industry.

I'm sure that my mom would have been happy with any path I chose.

I am still learning every day not to watch other people's careers and compare.

I'm always on the quest for something delicious and healthful.

I knew from the time I could walk that I wanted to be an actor.

Skiing makes me feel great, and it gives my legs such an incredible workout.

I didn't finish college, which is really weird because they awarded me the Alumni of Distinction recently.

My mom has this great skiing event in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, every year for a local charity.

I just believe that whatever you put into your system you're going to see on your face and your body.

I was a backstage kid. I was in the wings looking out.

I don't believe in depriving myself of any food or being imprisoned by a diet.

I mean, all alternative comedy is are comedians that have being doing it for so long, for so long, that they were relaxed enough to start becoming personal on stage.

My favorite comedians were Jimmy Durante, George Burns, senior citizens.

Comedians are not usually actors, but imitations of actors.

Half of the great comedians I've had in my shows and that I paid a lot of money to and who made my customers shriek were not only not funny to me, but I couldn't understand why they were funny to anybody.

I was up until all hours of the night, listening to stories, meeting great old comedians.

It seems like when I first started, people got into comedy because they wanted to be good comedians.

It seemed to me you could do anything in comics. So I started doing my thing, which is mainly influenced by novelists, stand-up comedians, that sort of thing.

I don't know any astronauts. There are a lot of people who say they want to be comedians.

Ever since I was a kid, I just loved those comedians on TV who would just have fun with the language.

I believe it is important for comedians to know who came before them.

The real good comedians, like Chaplin, would make you laugh and a second later, cry.

Whatever talent I had, I'm sure it helped that my parents were in the business and that I grew up around actors, comedians and directors.

Comedians walk out, get a feel for the crowd. If it's not going good, we change directions. If we got to drag your momma into this thing, we will. Whatever we got to do.

But it's fun to be something, have that, and you don't have to be real. It's like, comedians. They go on and they're doing all these jokes. I would be like that if I were more awake.

I thought comedians had to have black on their faces or red beards.

Comedians don't laugh. They're too busy analyzing why it's funny or not.

They don't make you pay for the humor. It's up and down, but they're trying to give you as many laughs as possible in 2 minutes. They are the most honest comedians ever.

That's why modern corporate movie making has become so laborious that comedians are kind of kicked out by 50.

I used to like writing for comedians - I enjoyed the challenge of making other people funny.

It was a decision to work clean. I just prefer to work that way. I have no problem with comedians who don't work that way. There was a temptation in the early '70s to reconsider. I decided against it.

I have worked with a great many comedians as opposed to comics, although I have worked with comics as well, I make the distinction.

You shouldn't listen to us at all if you're looking for information. We don't take ourselves seriously on any level; we're just comedians.

Everything is changing. People are taking their comedians seriously and the politicians as a joke.

Normally, I name my characters after famous comedians.
