I just don't identify myself with a place. I just don't get it. Like, why am I cheering for this town? Towns are good and bad but they don't have principles, constitutions. You wouldn't go to war for your town.

I loved doing 'Pennies from Heaven.' Because you have to understand that I'd been doing comedy for 15 to 20 years, and suddenly along came the opportunity to do this beautiful film. It was so emotional to me. I loved it. I don't think it was a good career move, but I have no regrets about doing it.

Private companies have a lot of capital. They can run things efficiently and get projects built.

Chaos in the midst of chaos isn't funny, but chaos in the midst of order is.

I think probably the most difficult challenge was just the climb and rise in show business because I went through my entire twenties with some success as a comedy writer but not much as a performer. And you have to be kind of informed and naive at the same time.

I was very vulnerable to criticism for many years. I could read a bad review and remember it my whole life.

I was deeply unhappy, but I didn't know it because I was so happy all the time.
