Basically, though, I'm just lucky to love what I do for a living.

I'd bowled a lot, but I never really had proper lessons.

When I was a kid, I loved Popeye, but the old ones, the real old ones.

When I was young, we couldn't afford much. But, my library card was my key to the world.

I'd like to come back because I really miss doing situation comedy.

I ain't never been in no college with famous people. I was a drifter for a while. I just was desperate to fit in with a group. Really, I was swimming. I was lost, treading water, trying to find my way. I wanted to play football. It didn't work out. I didn't really know what I wanted until I found acting in a theater department, and then everything just fell into place, and I had a passion about something. Then, I started living my life.

If I could put my finger on it, I'd bottle it and sell it. I came down here originally in 1972 with some drunken fraternity guys and had never seen anything like it - the climate, the smells. It's the cradle of music; it just flipped me. Someone suggested that there's an incomplete part of our chromosomes that gets repaired or found when we hit New Orleans. Some of us just belong here.
