Billy Crystal Thinking Quotations

There's only, I think, in life, three things that I do pretty well: Performing, I still can field ground balls, and I make nice kids.

Kids need a happy household. They need to be loved and supported in their dreams. And I don't think you can make your kids' dreams your own. They need you to support them in their dreams.

I'd like to think there is a Heaven, and it starts from the happiest day in your life.

I think I've far exceeded what I ever thought I could possibly do. I'm almost shocked that I'm still around after all of these years . . . and always grateful that I get another turn to do something.

My mind is always going. I'm always thinking what I need to do, what I haven't done, what I did do, what I didn't do as well as I could - I'm relentless that way with myself.

I love doing it [hosting the Oscars] because I love the danger of it and you have to come through and think on your feet. That's why that show, no matter who hosts it, it really should be a fast-thinking comedian who is really quick on their feet that can handle situations that happen, or somebody with that kind of mentality that can capitalize on something.

I think when I feel I'm at my best is when I'm on stage, and it's my version of jazz because it's just riffing or something.
