There's only, I think, in life, three things that I do pretty well: Performing, I still can field ground balls, and I make nice kids.

I was always drawn to performing, but I never thought I could. I have no idea what I wanted to do outside of the old cowboy-or-fireman. When I was in college, I got serious about acting. I started examining history and then everything related to the theater. History, art, all the other studies, if I could link them into the theater, then it became alive for me. It just opened up my eyes.

Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do. Go through his clothes and look for loose change.

My grandparents invented joylessness. They were not fun. I've already had more fun with my grandchildren than my grandparents ever had with me.

At some point I stopped stand-up because I didn't have something to say on a nightly basis.

What's so fascinating and frustrating and great about life is that you're constantly starting over, all the time, and I love that.

I think when I feel I'm at my best is when I'm on stage, and it's my version of jazz because it's just riffing or something.
