After years of begging, I got my parents to get me a little Craig tape recorder, a reel to reel. Then I started recording voices, or recording Jonathan Winters off television and stuff like that.

If I only ran when nothing hurt, I would never run.

Well, I loved variety in television, I loved sketch comedy. At 'Saturday Night Live,' I stayed almost seven years.

I have no regrets. I wanted to raise the kids and be a present father. When I developed a movie, I was gone for a year. That didn't really work for me. That isn't fair to make these life-forms and then disappear.

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

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

When people come to see my stand-up, they get a chance to see my characters interact with each other.
