Michael Jackson is an accidental civil rights leader - an accidental pioneer. He broke ground and barriers in so many different realms in artistry, in pictures, in movies, in music, you name it.
Frank Sinatra is the only one that went from teen idol to superstar.
I do admit to being slightly in love with Christopher Walken.
Steve Martin is one of my favorite performers, writers, artists of all time.
It's a fun thing for journalists to say that Captain Kirk is the boyfriend role. I'm happy to give a laugh. But it's a really complex story.
When Joan Rivers walked through the curtain on 'The Tonight Show,' nobody in my house was allowed to utter a sound. Her gait was full of pep and purpose and her voice unmatched.
I was always a fan of Groucho Marx as a kid.
Bruce Forsyth is my hero, and the thought that I'd be in a TV show with him was incredible.
I wanted to be the female Jim Carrey.
The life and ventures of Mickey Mouse have been closely bound up with my own personal and professional life.
Although I don't know if I've ever felt like a 'fan' of anybody ever in my life, I've always loved Shah Rukh Khan. He was the one I loved most, you can say.
Martin Lawrence is one of my comedic heroes, and he's a genius.
I grew up as a Roy Rogers fan, of course.
I always wanted to be known as the Norman Rockwell of television, and 'Happy Days' represented the part of me that wanted to make mainstream America laugh.
One of my favorites was Bernie Mac.
Sam Jackson is like the Jeezy of Hollywood: He's for his people.
Shah Rukh is a one-man industry. You have to accept that and salute him.
I remember being totally enamored with Sid Caesar.
I remember once, years ago, I met Sting, and he told me that he had seen 'Spinal Tap' 50 times. He said: 'Every time I watch it, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.'
Yeah, well, I guess Andy Williams would be considered by some to be schmaltzy, but to me, he's one of the greatest singers of all time. Just absolutely amazing. And if anyone doesn't believe me, just YouTube him. He's just one of a kind.
I wasn't a guy who grew up wanting to be in 'Funny Girl,' if you know what I mean. I wanted to be in the Beatles.
I'll tell you the truth; I wanted to leave me for Sid Caesar.
I was seven years old the first time I saw Michael Jackson. That changed everything.
The life and ventures of Mickey Mouse have been closely bound up with my own personal and professional life. It is understandable that I should have sentimental attachment for the little personage who played so big a part in the course of Disney Productions and has been so happily accepted as an amusing friend wherever films are shown around the world. He still speaks for me and I still speak for him.
Well, I was obsessed with Judy Garland growing up. Like, obsessed.
