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

I never read the tabloids.

I got lucky. I won the San Francisco Stand-Up Comedy Competition in 1977 while I was still at San Francisco State.

I think ABC sort of hoped I would be really like Carol Burnett. I mean literally, I think.

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.

I know it's a cliche, but the whole family is just whacked. I mean, we're all out of our minds. They're the funniest, most eccentric bizarre people I've ever met, my siblings.

Please, O ye Lord, keep Jim Bakker behind bars.
