More quotes by Billy Crystal
I think I've far exceeded what I ever thought I could possibly do. I'm almost shocked that I'm still around after all of these years . . . and always grateful that I get another turn to do something.
Billy Crystal
I'm going to go on just living and laughing and loving.
Billy Crystal
I can't be funny if my feet don't feel right.
Billy Crystal
Don't give up your power.
Billy Crystal
Bambi, to a kid, was scary.
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
You give up your dream, you give up.
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.

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 used to limp around my neighborhood imitating him. I did my Bar Mitzvah with an Oklahoma drawl.
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'd like to think there is a Heaven, and it starts from the happiest day in your life.
Billy Crystal
Every time I was with Sammy [Davis Jr.] it was like going to the show business museum because the stories were so extraordinary, and I didn't care if they were true or not after a while. ... I don't know if he really got high with Humphrey Bogart or not. It didn't matter because he was painting these fantastic pictures.
Billy Crystal
As a director and an actor, I encourage improvisation but in character and in the moment of what it is.
Billy Crystal
It is better to look good than to feel good.
Billy Crystal
For almost 40 years, he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy... Their beautiful light will continue to shine on us forever. And the glow will be so bright, it'll warm your heart, it'll make your eyes glisten, and it'll make you think to yourselves: Robin Williams, what a concept.
Billy Crystal
Nobody is more truthful when he's acting than De Niro.
