I had no idea that, when you audition for television or movies, you go to a big building - like, an office building - and you walk in the room, and everybody, I assumed, was smarter than me and better than me, and there's actors you recognize. I once fainted at an audition.

I always had to rely on humor and sarcasm. And when I started having kids, that doesn't work with kids. Kids don't understand sarcasm, and they certainly don't understand my humor.

Why focus on what somebody might think? Nobody talks [on TV] like people really talk most of the time.

I did so much theater, where everybody I worked with was so much better than me, that I just sort of learned.

There are some things you can't unsee, and there are some movies you can't get off IMDB no matter how hard you try.

In general, I did what a lot of character actors do: I did it to get girls.

I had great affection for Dana Carvey, and I think we all thought, "Dana's the guy. There's the comic genius."
