I wanted to be an actor. Maybe a comic actor, but an actor. That's what got me into acting was putting on an act, because in life, I wasn't funny and I felt on stage or in the movies, I could do whatever I wanted to. I was free.

I'm funny on camera sometimes. In life, once in a while. Once in a while.

I'm in complete remission. I'm alive and well.

I write funny. If I can make my wife laugh, I know I'm on the right track. But yes, I don't like to get Maudlin. And I have a tendency towards it.

I found a very diabolical way of making myself suffer - not in the same way [my mother ] was suffering but to prevent me from enjoying my own life.

I never used to believe in fate. I used to think you make your own life and then you call it fate. That's why I call it irony.

Time is a precious thing. Never waste it.
