I was not influenced by Jack Benny, and people have remarked on my timing and Jack's timing, but I don't think you can teach timing. It's something you hear in your head.

I've done more than I thought I was ever going to do. I've had a very long and very satisfying career.

I never had an aversion because I was active in the drama club. If I had that aversion I certainly wouldn't put myself in the position of being on stage. Of course, in the drama club you're hiding behind a character.

I didn't need the elf outfit to play an elf; I could just play an elf.

Doormen are kind of invisible, people don't know their names. They just say, Thank you, or Good morning. I'd never thought about doormen before. They're a vanishing breed. More electronic doors are being introduced.

There's a lot of cynicism. Let's really enjoy Christmas, with all that's going on in the world.
