If people knew what made hits they'd make more of them, so to have the illusion of control over one's career isn't something I can even pretend to have.

I want to sit down, and I want to laugh. Nothing works better for me than watching somebody slip on a banana peel.

I'm a painter, that's where I started out, at four years old, that was my first love as far as expression. So, I'm not a painter in the sense of, "Please come see my paintings" but, I do understand the value of not looking over the artist's shoulder while the work is in progress.

I wish I could always look like I've just finished a really good laugh.

I've always had this unresolved desire to prove that I could get a Ph.D., or contribute something else to the world.

As an actor, you hope to obtain this mind meld and sometimes I feel like I'm chasing a horse holding on to its tail and getting dragged, and other times I feel much more velcroed into the saddle. And I'm not the knower of which is better or best as a process, it's just as random as the weather in terms of what my subjective experience is.

I think that anybody that smiles automatically looks better.
