It's never good to just imitate somebody. That never works, because then you're not filling it with anything.

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

I was probably 34 when I got my first on-camera acting job, and it was through a friend of mine, who was working as a writer on the show, and I've never been more frightened in my life.

I guess show business is a lot like baseball: "Wait until next year!" You just never know. Some of the shittiest shows I've ever seen run forever, and some of the best things never get a chance.

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.

I can't emphasize the immediate panic that would set in when I had to audition. I can't believe I did it.

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