Person

Phyllis Diller

"Little by little by little, I was getting to my persona. I will never forget, when I was working Boston, the guy that I worked for there said, 'you should do something about wardrobe.' To me, wardrobe was a piece of furniture you put clothes in. He meant I should think about dressing more theatrically."

Person

Roger Ebert
"People watching television or listening to conversation need to be told things more simply and directly than when they're reading. It's a different kind of writing. When I first started writing for the show, Thea Flaum our producer would go over my copy and shake her head because I was writing long paragraphs of print and expecting to read them on television. On TV, you don't have that much time -- you have to get right to it." 
Person

Joan Rivers
"I appeared on 'The Tonight Show' with Johnny on February 17, 1965, and he said, 'You're gonna be a star,' right smack on the air. I went into the bank the next morning to kite a check, and the bank teller said to me, 'I saw you last night. Whatever you want.'  And I knew my life was gonna be different."
