I have a photographic memory; I just haven't developed it yet.

Discipline is tough for a guy who is a rebel.

My paintings and comedy have a lot in common. They are both improvisations based on observation.

I have never pretended to be any kind of super-religious kind of man, but I feel very strongly that you can be funny without being dirty.

When you wear so many hats in society, you never know who you are. That's the beauty of it. Because once you find out who you are, you're screwed.

As a kid, I always wanted to be lots of things. I was a Walter Mitty type. I wanted to be in the French Foreign Legion, a detective, a doctor, a test pilot with a scarf, a fisherman who hauled in a tremendous marlin after a 12-hour fight.

I love improvisation. You can't blame it on the writers. You can't blame it on direction. You can't blame it on the camera guy... It's you. You're on. You've got to do it, and you either sink or swim with what you've got.
