I love pulling people into concert halls who might not otherwise go and getting their ears tuned.

I've played Lear three times, I would love to do it again.

I will never master this craft. Orchestras are very, very forthcoming with me.

In television you go in with this operating system that it is a crapshoot.

Writing is hard work. Generating stories that catch people's attention and holding it are very difficult.

Very often, I don't make it through moments of recording because it is genuinely funny and absolutely ridiculous that a 60-year-old grown man is making these noises.

If it's right and true, it's listened to and accommodated.
