I never took the work less than serious, my work ethic is ingrained in me. But I've always had a sense of humor about myself.

Acting has always been something for me that's been a romp. I just show up and I have a good time, and I hope that I get through the day and I can have lunch in the sun.

Democracy has now become corrupted by the nature of the funders.

I'm my own doctor. I have a group of people who call me up on a weekly basis. I'm a 'doctor' without a license.

I'm not known as a singer, but in life I like to do things that are a bit beyond my reach to keep myself from slipping. I find that technology has made it so that we don't need to have a memory system, and as I get older I want to do things that challenge me. What could be more challenging than doing this show with a knee that's been replaced, after tearing my Achilles heel with a baker's cyst on the back of my knee? And then I have to try and dance!

I thought, better to get out while I'm still alive.

When people realize you're not the stuffed shirt they think you are it's such a relief and you have people who really like to be around you.
