“I owe it all to little chocolate donuts.”

“Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell, no!”

“If Brando can do Capote and I can do Brando - well then, I can do Capote.”

“What rock n' roll was supposed to be about was getting loose, enjoying it, going a little crazy, and not caring how you act or dress.”

“Back in Chicago, all we cared about was rock 'n' roll and staying out of the army.”

“Work is no longer challenging.”

“It's all false pressure; you put the heat on yourself, you get it from the networks and record companies and movie studios. You put more pressure on yourself to make everything that much harder.”

“I guess happiness is not a state you want to be in all the time.”

“It's very hard to be a good actor, you know. It's easy to be cute.”

“I'm learning to cope and not deny my own success, but I still think it's not happening a lot. I get nervous, and I am capable of doing something to blow it on purpose. A lot of actors have that problem.”

“I want to do a romantic comedy that nobody thought I could do. And then do a comedy with Dan Aykroyd that is totally different from 'The Blues Brothers.' I'm a comic actor, but I'm an actor, too.”

“Some comedians love their characters. I don't fall in love with mine. In fact, I get tired of them very fast. You have to be willing to throw it all away.”

“I give so much pleasure to so many people. Why can I not get some pleasure for myself?”

“I used to scrimp with Judy in one-room apartments.”

“The trick is knowing what you want to do and then resolving to do everything you have to do to get there.”

“You don't know what it's like to be me.”

“It's hard to go back and be constantly funny.”

“I want to do different things all the time.”

“I don't go anywhere without Judy.”

“Rock n' roll is at a standstill, I think - and comedy is taking its place as something exciting.”
