A Life of Laughter: Remembering John Ritter

Faye Woods:
John was a very low maintenance man. I can't remember a time he asked me for anything.

Paul Reiser:
I think the best way to pay a tribute to John and for the people who care about John, should do 2 things: Do something really nice for somebody, and do something really goofy. You know, just stick your tounge out at the kid in the car next to you and I think that would make John happy.

Martin Short:
John was the kind of person, that if you spent 2 minutes with him, you felt as if you'd known him for about 20 years.

[Talking about Three's Company]

Jason Alexander:
It wasn't the most classy or sophisticated material in the world. But that just goes to show you how good he was.

Henry Winkler:
I remember before he got sent home, he said he thought he had food poisoning. Then at about 11:45pm I got a phone call saying that John passed away.

William H. Macy:
I was driving in my car and I heard someone yell "I loved you in 'Fargo'" I look over across and it's John Ritter. I said, "I loved you in 'Sling Blade.'" He said, "It's a driveby compliment," and he drove away. I remember thinking to myself, "I wish I could come up with funny things like that."

[crying]

Amy Davidson:
I just think that John was an angel, and I feel lucky now, because I feel like he's going to be with me for the rest of my life.

Flody Suarez:
I don't think anybody walks away from this, thinking anything but, "Oh my God, I got to work with John Ritter. I got to work with this guy and he was so good to me."

[crying]

Katey Sagal:
He just had a way of making you feel special.

Connie Sellecca:
Whenever John walked into or room, or when he walked onto a set, he lit up the room.

James Belushi:
I remember John told me, "When your skating on thin ice, skate fast."

Katey Sagal:
He wouldn't want us to be sad, I just know it. At least not for very long.

[laughs]

Kaley Cuoco:
His face is just right there. And it's not going to go away.

Billy Bob Thornton:
He had a uniqueness. He was my buddy.
