Don Knotts was a really big influence, especially on the Steve Allen show. I mean, look at the guy, his entire life is in his face.

I spend a lot of time thinking of the Hereafter - each time I enter a room I wonder what I'm here after.

I like to work a lot with wood. I make furniture that falls apart. I also sew.

I resent my barber when he charges the full cost after he cuts my hair, but he says he's charging me for finding it.

Why do you do what you do? Why do you dress the way you dress?Why do you do what you do with your time? Why do you watch what you watch on TV or at the movies or on the computer? Do you have God-glorifying reasons for all of it?

My career is pretty much over. I'm out in the Valley eating soft-boiled eggs.

You can't TV surf without coming across an Andy of Mayberry episode where you've just got to watch Don as Barney. And that's why I put Don in several of my movies.
