I'm glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now, maybe things would happen for me, but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians, 12 dancers, two major guest stars, 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie. The networks just wouldn't spend the money today. Carol Burnett

Stars, Time, Today, Age, Money, Me

Today, I'd like to talk to Bob Marley. I'd just like to ask him what was his method. Bob is one of the greatest songwriters ever.

Love, Today, People, Song, Simplicity

Good, Best, Red, Hot, College, Opening

Music was so important to the culture when I was growing up in the Sixties and Seventies. We just expected that Bob Dylan was going to make a great record, and it was normal. It was like, 'Okay, here's another great record by Bob Dylan; here's another great record by Led Zeppelin.' John Mellencamp

Music, Culture, Great, Growing Up, Okay

I remember going to Bob Preston's dressing room because I was losing a laugh - as you do in a long run. He said, 'Give me the script. That's where you're going off the road.' That's comedy. It's never the line itself; it's in the foundation. Jeffrey Tambor

Me, Road, Losing, You, Laugh, Long

Friendship, Welcome, Me, Street, Result

The only thing I really recommend, if you're starting out in stand-up is to not try to copy anybody else. You can be influenced by people.

Ellen DeGeneres

Myself, People, You, Unique, Someone
