I found doing that kind of comedy without an audience is just... for me, it's almost impossible. You need the audience to do their half of the work.

I got into a Broadway show before I ever sang and danced. I learned how after I got in the show.

I cannot tell you what it means when children recognize. This is about the third generation for me. And when kids that small recognize me, it really pleases me, very gratifying.

I have four children and I have seven grandkids.

I think both of those: the subject matter, pop culture... the talent, I don't think... there's no Jim Belushi in Saturday Night Live, for me. And probably, you know, possibly the material. They've done everything over the years.

Otherwise, everything got better and better, just one surprise after another. And that's why I wrote the book about a matter of being in the right place at the right time, and just luck.

Everything's getting homogenized. It seems to me like music and behavior and everything else is getting homogenized.
