- Norman Lear: I live my life moment to moment, day to day and even though I appear 93, I never lost my childlike view of the world.
- Phil Rosenthal: The way I look at it, television can broken up into two parts; B.N. and A.N. before Norman and after Norman, right? He's the most influential producer in the history of television because of this gigantic change that happened when "All in the Family" hit the air.
- Phil Rosenthal: There's a reason Richard Nixon put Norman on his enemies list. To be able to talk about real life and real issues, forget how controversial they are --- They're real. That's what's so relevant. That stuff didn't happen in sitcoms.
- Norman Lear: People think, you know, that turning 90, maybe you change, but it's everybody else who changes. Suddenly, I'm extremely wise, and everybody's asking me for advice, and I am sometimes applauded for walking across a room. But the sound and the fact of 90 has got everybody believing I'm some kind of special intelligence. But I think about it now as wondrous, what I got to experience.
- Norman Lear: What was new was that we were engaging in reality. They're ordinary subjects in family life where they affect people, and abortion, I mean, there's much more political correctness now than there was when we were on the playing field where we hadn't played before.
- George Clooney: There is a tendency for people when they get older to stop asking questions, and they're not learning anymore. And Norman, I can guarantee you, the conversation will mostly be him trying to ask questions. He's interested in people, in life, not just in telling stories, but interested in humankind.
- Norman Lear: My family is the greatest joy in my life. But I look back over the years, and I think I realize That each of us is responsible for our own happiness. And that's the great journey in life, learning that you have to find the satisfaction yourself. It's hard to be a human being. Remember, you heard it here.
