“Acting in a stage play is like working the evening shift in an office.” — Arthur Smith Quote

Acting in a stage play is like working the evening shift in an office.

Every generation of children has its private hero.

The history of the relationship between comedy and swimming is short indeed. Of course it is always funny when someone falls into water, but that's about it.

A savage review is much more entertaining for the reader than an admiring one; the little misanthrope in each of us relishes the rubbishing of someone else.

Because comedy is cheap to put on: if you've got a play or an opera, there's a whole load of people and a set, but comedy is just one man or woman. And because TV has learned to love comics - there's so many more around now than when I started out.

I think laughter and stimulating conversation are the things that truly make a romantic evening.

I have a glass of hot water with honey and lime in it right after I wake up. I eat in small quantities every two hours and make it a point not to eat anything after 8 P.M. in the evening.

I am almost always, when I'm at home in the evening after work, in a silk bathrobe I got from India. Like, I never take off this bathrobe. I have a series of Indian silk bathrobes that I love, and that's what I rock all the time.

We'll just unwind in the evening by going out as a family for a pizza where we'll meet up with other families we know from the children's school.
