A musical is only as good as its director. The same can also be said for the CIA.

I'm an actor who loves doing comedy.

You try to figure out things to keep yourself interested. It's very easy to get lulled.

All these things that enter your head are assignments. You write them up and then throw them out there and if someone wants to do it, your assignment is done.

The thing you can always rely on, your core person, comes from your family's attention and love.

People have very specific opinions of comedy. Slapstick was an art form in the '20s and the lowest form of show business in the '50s. Who's right, who's wrong? Who's an idiot, who's not?

I have a kind of objective luxury about my career.
