If you think everything you've done is great, you're probably dumb.

Pushing the envelope' sort of implies that you're inside the envelope with everyone else, and you're trying to find the edges on the outsides.

All talking is good, negative and positive. Stabbing is bad; talking is good.

Comedians work great as actors because they're good under pressure. With a lot of actors, you have to make them feel like everything's going really well to get a good performance out of them. But, if you have a comedian on the set, you can tell them, 'Hey, you really are screwing this up,' and then they just get better.

Being popular with an audience is a very rickety ladder to be on.

I don't think it makes any sense to try to get anyone to not talk.

I spend enough time onscreen looking hangdog and depressed.
