It's getting harder and harder to differentiate between schizophrenics and people talking on a cell phone. It still brings me up short to walk by somebody who appears to be talking to themselves.

But I really believe that if you have the ability, there is an obligation to make people laugh

More and more, as I get older, people come up to me and say, 'Thank you for all the laughter.' And my standard answer is, 'It was my pleasure.' But that's the truth.

Don't be silly and don't waste your time.

Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.

As an actor, you generally want to see the other actor's face.

I love portraying the totally indifferent person.
