As an actor, and as you get to a certain level... and it's pilot season and you read the trades, you could have a nervous breakdown. 'So-and-so's signed for a pilot. Why aren't I?'

I have great respect for the authorities.

One of the great things about kids is they haven't heard a lot of the old jokes. You can get away with the corny ones.

A great director is someone who makes you feel like you're moving forward.

Comedy relieves you. A lot of times, we think we're the only people bothered by certain things. Then you hear a comic say, 'Don't you hate it when...' And it's, 'Oh, my God! Of course!'

If you're going to take a risk as a comic, make sure it's surrounded by other things that you're certain are funny.

Comedy always came easier for me. But I would have loved to have been an action hero.

I loved Bob Hope and the way he would turn to the camera and break the fourth wall.

When I started, there was a phase where I wanted to be a cowboy star. I didn't want to do deep, serious parts.

I've been in a lot of shows, I will say that. Every once in a while, I'll look at a tape of something I've done, and I won't even remember having done it.
