Quotes
I like to watch all those shows that shouldn’t be on the air – reality shows.
Jerry Lewis
I really am opinionated, but not for long. I have found myself coming off of what I think of something because the guy I’m talking to makes better sense than I am. I have so many points of view, I can’t keep track of ’em, because I talk to too many people… I’m not so opinionated that I won’t budge.

Jerry Lewis
That never stops. That’s what drives you: the joy and excitement of doing what you love.
