On the big issues, Joan and I are amazingly in tune, but on the creature-comfort level, we're incompatible.
Joan Rivers was a role model to comics everywhere, but especially to women. She got the first laugh and the last laugh.
Joan of Arc was born 600 years ago. Six centuries is a long time to continue to mark the birth of a girl who, according to her family and friends, knew little more than spinning and watching over her father's flocks.
Joan is very funny. I'm always telling her she's a fraud: Everyone thinks she's fragile and humorless, when we all know she's wildly funny and the last surviving member of the Donner party.
Joan is rated one of the best in America,
Joan is part of a wonderful team of nurses at the school. We have 3,000 students here, and three nurses who have to deal with about 100 youngsters a day. I don't know what we'd do without them in today's world.
Joan is one of the most curious people I know. She's always eager to learn.
Joan Collins unfortunately can't be with us tonight. She's busy attending the birth of her next husband.
Show me one guy or woman as funny as Rodney Dangerfield or as good as George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, or Joan Rivers. There are a lot of good comics out there, no doubt, but as far as the quality of the comics goes, I think what you have is a bunch of situational comics.
They just assumed I was the Joan of Arc of the women's movement.
