If I had not lived the life I had lived and did not have the wife I have and the children I have, I would never know how to play that role [of Dr. Bedsloe], and I wouldn't have any of those qualities. It's a real example of how it is true that the camera catches everything. Even the stuff you're trying to hide.

Most of my experiences have been positive. I know I live a very good life. I'm severely overpaid, but there are people who are much more overpaid than I am. I've been very lucky, and I know that, because I see guys all the time who are struggling and can't make a dime, and they're much better actors than me.

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

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.

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.

I started just naturally turning into a nicer person, and it actually helped broaden and lengthen my career.
