Anne Meara

I would never presume to give anyone advice.

Growing up, I loved drama and fantasies. I hated the Marx Brothers. I took all that confusion seriously.

My mother loved movies, and I loved movies like she loved movies. So I wanted to do that. I'd send away for movie magazines - the old thing of everybody wanting to be a star or whatever.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

Technology is characterized by constant change, rapid innovation, creative destruction, and revolutionary products.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.
