I got sober. I stopped killing myself with alcohol. I began to think: 'Wait a minute - if I can stop doing this, what are the possibilities?' And slowly it dawned on me that it was maybe worth the risk.
You know when you're a kid and you think, 'Oh no, I've got double math, this is never gonna end,' but then it ends, and it's like it never happened? That's like life.
I always appreciated my teachers. When I was 16, I gave them the greatest gift I could think of. I dropped out of school.
Ratings experts say the best way to get people to watch during sweeps is to leave the audience with a question that won't be answered until the next time the show is on. You know, like Who shot J.R.? I like to think I do this every night - the question is, Is this show still on?
If you watch cooking shows on cable, they have lots of British people. Because when you think good cooking, you immediately think Britain.
A New York City judge struck down a proposed law to ban sodas larger than 16 ounces. I think Mayor Bloomberg should spend his time trying to improve stuff like education.

You know, I think there's a good rule of thumb here: Don't take nutritional advice from other species.
I think I'll be Scottish in every movie I write. They always try to talk me out of it, but Woody Allen is always a nebbish New Yorker. Why shouldn't I be a goofy Glaswegian?
Larry King has been married more times than Henry the Eighth. We used to have that rhyme to keep track of them. 'Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived.' With Larry I think it goes, 'Divorced, beheaded, divorced, escaped. Zombie, lesbian, disappeared, inflatable.
Apple released the upgraded version of the iPhone 4, called the iPhone 4S. I think the S stands for suckers.
Sometimes people think you’re smart if you question the status quo, if nothing else.
I think in our desire to create a better America,we have to have civilized debate in this country and not just yelling.
