There was an era when people would turn on their radio and hear a radio drama. Now, you could be as scared by that as seeing it filmed. In those days, people used to sit by the fire and imagine what they were hearing. Everything is its own art form.

I have sometimes imagined my own death and brought myself to tears.

I still do live concerts all over the country - about four a month - with singing and characters and improv. It keeps me limber. I'll never lose that. And comedy is still the bread and butter.

Whether arrogantly or what, I view myself simply as an actor.

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

No one is any one thing.
