Friendship takes time and energy if it’s going to work. You can luck into something great, but it doesn’t last if you don’t give it proper appreciation. Friendship can be so comfortable, but nurture it-don’t take it for granted.
Get at least 8 hours of beauty sleep. 9 if you’re ugly.

I don’t know why people get so anti-something. Just mind your own business, take care of your own affairs, and don’t worry about other people so much.
Having a live audience makes a world of difference to the acting. It keeps your timing sharp. When something doesn’t work, the actor can sense the reaction from the audience and quickly move on.

When I started in television, it was brand new. It was the miracle over in the corner of your room. Now the audience has seen every story line. People have heard every joke. They can predict the plot almost before a show starts. That’s a hard, sophisticated audience to reach.
We laugh a lot. That’s for sure. Sure beats the alternative, doesn’t it?
