The Trick To Any Profession Is Making

I Always Knew That Someone Was Going To Come At Me With A Script To Play God. It's Just One Of Those Things, The Way Your Career Is Unfolding And All The Talk About Gravitas Etc Etc, So I Had A Strong Feeling That Someone Was Going To Offer Me The Part Of God. I Was Totally Prepared To Say, 'thanks But No Thanks,' Unless It Was A Comedy.

Rob [reiner] Is A Teddy Bear. He's Hell Delicious. He's A Really Good Director. He's A Great Soul. In The Movie Business, I Would Call Him A Movie Mom.
