I benefit from the Mr. Potato Head syndrome. Put a wig and a nose and glasses on me, and I disappear.

As an actor, I felt I couldn't compete. I wasn't as cute as the leading man; I wasn't as brilliant as Robin Williams.

One of the remarkable things about my career is that it has been marked by steady, incremental progress. No sudden spikes up, and no sudden downfalls, either.

The one thing I could do was voices and impersonations and weird characters, and there was really no call for that, except on Saturday Night Live.

I could do John Wayne, Jack Benny, Jack Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and entertain my friends. But I never seriously considered it as a career choice.

I could never learn what I'm learning at college. They don't teach it there, because it can't be learned in that way.
