When you go to standup, there seems to be a common denominator of some form of need or want for validation from the audience that maybe you were lacking as a kid.

I married a saint - well, a saint who curses.

I don't know if you want to see the Everybody Loves Raymond guy in a nude scene.

My theory has always been that everyone in show business is there because they were deprived of some attention as a child.

I put myself on tape and the cool thing was that Martin Scorsese had never heard of me. He had never seen [Everybody Loves Raymond]. I was just an unknown actor to him. I don't want to sound conceited, like he has to know who I am, but that seemed a little odd. He's a film genius. He doesn't watch sitcoms.

I have this mistress: show business.
