I did a lot of ridiculous television. Between 1980 and '85 I had no confidence, so I did everything I was told to do.

You know ladies and gentlemen, a long time ago , there were lots of people, but that was a long time ago

I always tend to think of all of my shows as possibly my last show. I'm like a junior Springsteen, without the underbite.

I think free speech is probably the coolest thing we have in this country, and again, you can label it hate speech and dismiss it, and then you're allowed to censor it.

I really enjoy being a dad, and maybe I took it too seriously, but I love being around my kids.

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