I loved 'Everybody Loves Raymond' because I like Ray and I thought it was beautifully cast, I thought it was great writing. I thought Patricia Heaton was wonderful.

'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' was the best television, the best cast, the best-written television show ever.

People have told me, 'My dad passed on, but I have great memories of watching your shows with him.' It doesn't get any better than that.

I loved the idea of having Paul Newman here, and that wonderful cast. I was particularly glad to see . . . that army of people, many of them local, who were set into motion by that film.

Comedians are never really on vacation because you're always at attention... that antenna is always out there.

I was very lucky with 'Soap' and 'Who's the Boss,' which was great fun, and then went on 'Coach' and 'Everybody Loves Raymond.' I've been truly blessed, and the work has all been fun and a joy.
