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

I started out old, but I have to say that I've been very lucky to work consistently since I started. I've really never been out of work.

Do less than you ever thought it was possible to do.

I didn't watch the Emmys because - well, for one, I have been to awards shows, and I understand how it works. For another, sour grapes. Actually, that's probably number one.

Show business is a great place to fail upward... and I guess that's what I've done.

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 was in college, I thought I was going to be a lawyer, I met this girl named Laura who was the most beautiful girl I had ever known, and she was taking an acting class, so I decided to take the same acting class. And I was a terrible actor in college.
