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
Don't give up your power.
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
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
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 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
Nothing can take the sting out of the world’s economic problems like watching millionaires present each other with golden statues.
Billy Crystal
I'm married - I've caught my limit.
Billy Crystal
It is better to look good than to feel good.
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
