"I've never chosen anything to do that I didn't wish to do. My awards and accolades mean a great deal to me, but they don't mean as much as the drive to the studio today. I still explode with joy, excitement, interest and utter delight every time."

Lear said that the best years of his life were to make people "laugh, think and understand the nature of family."

"Truth to tell, certainly I've done nothing more than father a child. Nothing more delicious than becoming a grandfather of a child. I don't know that there's anything more romantic in living than all of that."
