I've retired a couple of times. It's great, because you can just say, 'Oh, I'm sorry. I'm retired.'

I'm over the Oscar thing. I feel that if you really want an Oscar, you're in trouble. It's like wanting to be married - you'll take anybody. If you want the Oscar really badly, it becomes a naked desire and ambition. It becomes very unattractive. I've seen it.

It's a lot of work to read a crummy script.

I don't feel like it's pressure. It's more of an obligation - not to entertain or be funny, but to have a certain levity. I mean, there's got to be a lightness in your leg. You have to be as light as you can be, and you don't have to be weighted down, stuck in your emotions and stuck in your body, stuck in your head. You just want to try and elevate something.

Don't think about your errors or failures; otherwise, you'll never do a thing.

Life is a game, and it's much more fun if you play it as your own game, so stay light and loose and relaxed.

I'm a nut, but not just a nut.
