Some people just derive great joy from making other people laugh. And I do, but I don't feel like I need to do it 24 hours a day.

I would like for my kids to at least have some familiarity with who I am: "It's the man from TV!"

The only time I set the bar low is for limbo.

The ability to compromise and having the ability to laugh at ourselves is huge and works well for me.

You never saw Peter Sellers the actor trying to make you laugh. All he was doing was the character. What I'm saying is that I don't think you should know you're in a movie. I don't like it when actors are winking at the audience and saying, 'Right, isn't this funny? Are you with me?'

It's not a master plan to do every remake and every recreation of icons. It's just what I've been hired to do.

If we were meant to read for enjoyment, would God have created television? Read as it was intended - for exercise. The more you read, the more you expand your - what's the word I'm looking for? - your stockpile of words. You must have a stockpile of words that you can pass along to your children for their stockpile.
