Carol Burnett

Comedy is tragedy plus time.

Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own.

When someone who is known for being comedic does something straight, it' s always "a big breakthrough" or a "radical departure." Why is it no one ever says that if a straight actor does comedy? Are they presuming comedy is easier?

When you have a dream you've got to grab it and never let go.

I have always grown from my problems and challenges, from the things that don't work out, that's when I've really learned.

Celebrity was a long time in coming; it will go away. Everything goes away.
