I'm one of the most joyous people I've ever met.

Los Angles is not my favorite city. Well, I shouldn't say that... I love to visit it, on a temporary basis. It's just such a company town! You can't go anywhere and not run into someone who wants to be in the business.

My middle name really is perseverance. I've always believed that I had talent, even when I felt like a very inferior sort of person, which I spent a lot of time living my life feeling that I wasn't worthy. But even then I knew that I had something special, and maybe that's what it takes. Maybe people need to have that kind of particular core driving them. But I felt I had talent.

I deliberately state my age because it keeps me honest. I think lying is a bad idea. Sooner or later, someone's going to catch you.

I love playing people who don't have a sense of humor for instance, there's nothing funnier to me than a person with no sense of humor.

Retirement is just not in my DNA.

I grew up thinking I had very little value. It's not something I felt I could share with my mom so it was all inside me.
