More quotes by Billy Crystal
As a director and an actor, I encourage improvisation but in character and in the moment of what it is.
Billy Crystal
I'm a baby. I sleep like a baby - I'm up every two hours. And I think a lot. I worry a lot. I have great nights of no sleep where ideas come.
Billy Crystal
I'm a sucker for a free tuxedo.
Billy Crystal
I think when I feel I'm at my best is when I'm on stage, and it's my version of jazz because it's just riffing or something.
Billy Crystal
I always came away thinking I'd like to see her more, you know? And then when [Parental Guidance] was ready to be cast, we thought - Bette [Midler]. So we called her.
Billy Crystal
You have to really respect what your kids are doing with their kids and how they're raising them. You can't push your way into areas where you shouldn't be saying anything. You have to always remember they're not your own kids. Play with them, love them, spoil them to death - then hand them back.
Billy Crystal
I'm married - I've caught my limit.
Billy Crystal
At 60, I could do the same things I could do at 30, if I could only remember what those things are.
Billy Crystal
Dad had a music store, and he'd often bring home comedy albums that I would listen to. I started listening to Bob Newhart and Bill Cosby, and developing taste. They really influenced my style of comedy.
Billy Crystal
Two thousand years ago Jesus is crucified, three days later he walks out of a cave and they celebrate with chocolate bunnies and marshmallow Peeps and beautifully decorated eggs. I guess these were things Jesus loved as a child.
Billy Crystal
I didn't rebel as a child. I missed that angry teenager thing.
Billy Crystal
If you do something for the first time, you will always remember it. If your Dad has something to do with it, you write about it.
Billy Crystal
Consider the rose...The rose is the sweetest smelling flower of all, and it's the most beautiful because it's the most simple, right? But sometimes, you got to clip the rose. You got to cut the rose back, so something sweeter smelling and stronger, and even more beautiful, will grow in its place
Billy Crystal
I'd like to think there is a Heaven, and it starts from the happiest day in your life.
Billy Crystal
I always was a performer, from the time I was little. It was always a natural place for me to be.
Billy Crystal
It is better to look good than to feel good.
Billy Crystal
Despite what The Wall Street Journal says, our awards are the best-kept secret in America, with the possible exception of what George W. Bush did in the '70s.
Billy Crystal
[I did impressions] of relatives because I heard so many different sounds. My dad was in the music business and of course my uncle was a giant [music producer], but my dad in particular had the house filled with these Dixieland jazz stars.
Billy Crystal
There's only, I think, in life, three things that I do pretty well: Performing, I still can field ground balls, and I make nice kids.
Billy Crystal
You give up your dream, you give up.
