When most people think about Nevada, they often instantly associate us with the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip.
I'm a fan of Las Vegas and always have been, on many levels.
I grew up in Las Vegas. My mom worked in pretty much every casino on the Strip.
Vegas' energy is wild.
Las Vegas is the boiling pot of entertainment.
I don't live in L.A. I live in Las Vegas.
You can take the girl out of Vegas, but you can't take the Vegas out of the girl.
I like L.A., but I'm definitely a Brooklyn girl; I'm a city girl. I need the cars honking. I need the bright lights. I need people yelling in the middle of the night screaming at each other. I need all of that.
Las Vegas is a 24-hour city. It never stops.
I have always loved Las Vegas. It's a traditional place for lounge comics to perform, and I love that.
I'm done with Vegas. I hate Vegas.
New York is like a disco, but without the music
I had thought that Tokyo would be like New York City, but it wasn't. I'd imagined that they'd be similar in their bustle and noise level, but, in fact, Tokyo is a very calm metropolis. The bright lights and hectic night-life images so often found in advertisements and Western media do not reflect every day Japan.
It'd be crazy to be an all-time great in New York City. That's a dream come true.
I feel like I'm always performing in Vegas around Christmastime.
I used to live above Manganaro's, when old Times Square was still peaking, and it still had a lot of diners and theaters on the forty deuce, as they used to call it. It was full of character. And it wasn't Disneyland. Now it's so touristy and full of bright lights, I can't stand it. It's like going to a big mall.
Las Vegas is about distraction.
When I arrived in Las Vegas, I felt I was embraced by it.
I've never played in Vegas. I've only been to the airport, but even the airport was exciting. Just flying in, looking out the window, you feel the pull of it, like it's some evil force pulling you in, like Mordor.
In the heart of the desert and founded by the first Spanish Conquistadores, Las Vegas has become the entertainment capital of the world, with more than 30 million visitors a year.
I won't go anywhere near the new Times Square. It's seizure-inducing.
On network TV, I'm still Phoebe to people, and it would be hard to convince them otherwise in the bright lights of a sitcom.
I love Vegas. It really has the most wonderful shows, the greatest performers.
Sometimes, when I'm on the red carpet or something, and there was a lot of flashes, my eyes, like, start watering. I'm like, 'Oh.' You have to hide it, so I just keep going, and then I'm like, 'Oh gosh, it hurts so bad.'
I had a home in Las Vegas for about eight years, starting in 1978.
