“I think it's the most wonderful thing in the world to have an identity...” — Norm Crosby Quote

“I think it's the most wonderful thing in the world to have an identity, something the audience can remember you for.”

“I don't do the same show twice. I've never done a show word for word.”

“Old is when people compliment your alligator shoes, and you're not wearing any.”

“A film doesn't exist until it meets its audience.”

“The make-up and the costumes were me being scared. I needed to create a boundary between me and the audience. To project this bigger version of myself. Outwardly, it looked good, but inwardly, I began to feel horrible.”

“I want an audience that we might call a pop audience. Cross over to pop. Cross over to R&B. And bring those people to Brubeck and Chick Corea, you dig? A lot of people found Dave Brubeck and Chick Corea because they came to hear 'We're in This Love Together' and 'After All.'”
