Bob Newhart

"I worked as an accountant for two-and-a-half years, then worked as a copywriter. People had always been saying, 'gee, you're funny. You think funny.' So I just decided I was gonna give it a try and see what happened."

Person

Bob Finkel
"Reality. That's television at its best. When that little bug rolled around on Mars – you can't do a show any better than that.  I mean, if you went to the networks and said, 'I want to do a show with a little cart that rolls up and down on the rocks,' they'd throw you out."
Person

Jason Alexander
"It's the last live taping. It's the four of us and we're holding hands. Jerry says, 'I want to say something. For the rest of our lives, when anyone thinks of one of us, they will think of all four of us. And I can't think of three people I'd rather have that be true of.'"
Person

Lisa Kudrow
"It's six people on a couch... that's a show?"
Person

James Burrows
"You have to achieve that moment, when it makes you laugh. You have to get to that moment and you have to work it until you get to that moment. You have to know why it's not working and you have to be able to give the actors, if they have suggestions for how to make it work, you have to listen to them, not dismiss them. It's like clay; you have to form it."
Person

Leonard Nimoy
"The camera can capture thought in a way that's quite surprising and shocking. You can become very simple and minimal in your work and communicate a lot with just a finger or an eyebrow, or a look, or a glance."
Person

Barbara Walters

"If you're in the news business you do not give your personal opinions about major issues.. The line between that seems to be blurred.. I do think that we have to show some kind of objectivity and I'm not sure that it's happening."  

Person

Alan Alda

"Wherever I could get work, I worked…. I thought I would be a stage actor.  It never occurred to me that I'd have some big success on television."

Person

Skitch Henderson

"Bing Crosby used to say to me, 'never say no, always say, yes, and do what the hell you want.' I think that’s a very good philosophy."
