I wouldn’t even dare read the Torah, let alone attempt a witty observation on the Torah. Charles Grodin Read Quote
I don’t want to have anything to do with the government. And yet if we don’t have any regulations, there goes civilization, there goes security, and there goes protecting you against what people are going to sell you. Charles Grodin Read Quote
Good acting is thinking in front of the camera. I just do that and apply a sense of humor to it. You have to trust the audience to get it. Charles Grodin Read Quote
