You're a disease. And I'm the cure.

I consider myself something of a raconteur. I have a rather audacious sense of humour.

I'd live in a museum if I could. I used to spend hours and hours in the Museum of Modern Art.

I'm perceived to be this solitary character, but nothing could be further from the truth.

I've always boxed a certain way. But with Rocky, the character himself had to be kind of awkward. So I had to learn to fight that way.

We follow a certain pattern, a maze, if you will, every day, tracing our steps into certain districts and neighborhoods and back home. So it's easy for people to relate to clichés. That's why comedy routines are based on mutual experiences of clichés.

Certain characters, mostly heroes, have to be the straight silent type; that is part of the make-up.
