My mother was a Bohemian - in the good sense of the word. A searcher. And she investigated various religions.

I can't even really tell a joke. I find being funny very hard work. I am always asked about it and I feel guilty saying that, but it's the truth. I love my work but it ain't easy.

I don't like to be my own audience, I find that being my own audience, being in the audience, makes me self-conscious, basically. So I tune in sometimes, with the sound off, to check it out and I back up to it. In the future I will look at it when some time has passed.

In Hollywood I thought I was large and klutzy, like the characters I played.

Comedy is created when someone is trying very earnestly to do what he feels is the right thing to do at that moment.

If a scene isn't well written they'll drop your neckline to fill the void.

Comedy is an ability to observe and see what's funny in a situation and be able to forget yourself enough to do it.
