The two things that can hurt you are if you need money or if you need fame. Those are the things that can be your Achilles' heel. But if you don't need money and you don't need fame, then you're free.

I enjoy pushing my characters to the limit. No matter how far out there I go, I look for things that make the characters human.

I have a theory that if you're famous more years than you're not famous, then you get a little nutty.

You know, Elizabeth Taylor must be in Heaven going, 'Alright, fire two honey!'

I tried to go out for theater or theater arts, but I was too scared or too intimidated. But I had a lot of friends on the cross country team that had great senses of humor.

I've never really worked on them. Just once in a while one hits me and makes me laugh. My Al Gore was sort of like a gay Gomer Pyle.

My characters all start with rhythms and sounds. Once I hear the voice and get into the rhythm, the attitude and the physicality just come out on their own.
