I think you can tell the human condition better through comedy.
I love Russian, because it's delicious to speak like that. If you have to speak French, you can also do that, because it's not difficult. Accents are a cool thing to do. And I love doing them.
I used to work, part time, in a deli, in those days when your parents made you work just so you should know what work was like. And you'd make 4, 5, 6, ten dollars.
Sometimes I just walk through; I just show up, as in The Other Sister.
Pretty Woman was the easiest job I've ever done. I just wore the right toupee.
I don't wonder about anything. I'm too old to wonder. I think the most important thing is to wake-up with a pulse. I look in the obituary columns. If I'm not in it, I get out of bed.
I've dodged bullets but there's no scandal in my life.
I never learned to cook; I was a little spoiled as far as that's concerned.
Which reminds me of a fortune cookie: you often find your destiny on the path you take to avoid it.
It's the strings vibrating at the same time but separately that makes a good marriage. It messy, it's complicated and it's quite wonderful.
Food is a passion. Food is love.
I work with Garry no matter what. What I wanted to keep going was the streak.
The fact that that's the difference between Mexicans and Cubans is pronounced. It's so immediately recognizable, the way a Cuban speaks, the way a Cuban moves the hands.
After you free yourself from the incredible expectations of love through the media from the time you were so high, you realise that it's the spaces between the notes that make music.
