“Change is such hard work.”
Billy Crystal“Change is such hard work.”
Billy Crystal“To me, little Mike Wazowski is one of the best characters I ever got to play because he was funny. He was outrageous. He got angry. He was romantic. He was a full, well-rounded character.”
Billy Crystal“I still don't love the darkness, though I've learned to smile in it a little bit, now and then.”
Billy Crystal“My parents always looked like they loved being together. That's what I took from them, and that's how my wife and I are. I still feel like we're dating.”
Billy Crystal“I was raised mostly by my mom.”
Billy Crystal“Mom was so funny and loving to us kids. She was our first audience. When my dad died, I was suddenly alone in the house with her because my two older brothers were away at college. I was the man of the house, and she was the grieving woman.”
Billy Crystal“I can't be funny if my feet don't feel right.”
Billy Crystal“I never missed a birthday. I never missed a school play. We carpooled. And the greatest compliment I can ever get is not about my career or performance or anything; it's when people say, 'You know, your girls are great.' That's the real thing for me.”
Billy Crystal“My mum, Helen, was hilarious. She had a tremendous sense of humour and was a great singer and tap dancer. For many years, she was the voice of Minnie Mouse in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She would be in the float as it came along, singing whatever the Minnie Mouse song of the day was. She was a really big spirit in my life.”
Billy Crystal“Muhammad Ali struck us in the middle of America's darkest night, in the heart of its most threatening gathering storm. His power toppled the mightiest of foes, and his intense light shined on America, and we were able to see clearly injustice, inequality, poverty, pride, self realization, courage, laughter, love, joy and religious freedom for all.”
