Billy Crystal

American - Comedian Born: March 14, 1947

With the author

What's so fascinating and frustrating and great about life is that you're constantly starting over, all the time, and I love that.

Billy Crystal

Mom was so funny and loving to us kids. She was our first audience. When my dad died, I was suddenly alone in the house with her because my two older brothers were away at college. I was the man of the house, and she was the grieving woman.

Billy Crystal

Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place.

Muhammad Ali struck us in the middle of America's darkest night, in the heart of its most threatening gathering storm.

Billy Crystal

Billy Crystal

My mum, Helen, was hilarious. She had a tremendous sense of humour and was a great singer and tap dancer. For many years, she was the voice of Minnie Mouse in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She would be in the float as it came along, singing whatever the Minnie Mouse song of the day was. She was a really big spirit in my life.

Sydney Smith

You're always frustrated, you don't have the chance to do a song on the album, like the Beatles did with Ringo and George, or like Led Zeppelin, where everybody was given a chance to contribute. There never is a chance with the Stones.

Bill Wyman

When I was younger, I would go to auditions to have the opportunity to audition, which would mean another chance to get up there and try out my stuff, or try out what I learned and see how it worked with an audience, because where are you gonna get an audience?

Al Pacino

I'm not too proud of the movies I made as a grownup except for 'That Hagen Girl', which nobody remembers but which gave me a chance to act.

Shirley Temple

As F1 is a male-dominated environment, you have to prove yourself. And first of all that means being given the chance to prove yourself.

Susie Wolff

If you wish in this world to advance your merits you're bound to enhance; You must stir it and stump it, and blow your own trumpet, Or, trust me, you haven't a chance.

William Gilbert

The Gottman Institute's study about arguments in long-term relationships concludes that couples with the best chance at long-term success are the ones with a low negativity threshold: if something's wrong, they speak up about it immediately. That's something I've taken on board.
