As A Director And An Actor, I

In High School, I Was The Class Comedian As Opposed To The Class Clown. The Difference Is The Class Clown Is The Guy Who Drops His Pants At The Football Game, The Class Comedian Is The Guy Who Talked Him Into It.

I Quit Drinking. That Was A Big Problem For A Lot Of Years. Then After That, I Just Started Feeling Grateful Again.

I Think When I Feel I'm At My Best Is When I'm On Stage, And It's My Version Of Jazz Because It's Just Riffing Or Something.

I Love Doing It [hosting The Oscars] Because I Love The Danger Of It And You Have To Come Through And Think On Your Feet. That's Why That Show, No Matter Who Hosts It, It Really Should Be A Fast-thinking Comedian Who Is Really Quick On Their Feet That Can Handle Situations That Happen, Or Somebody With That Kind Of Mentality That Can Capitalize On Something.

[i Did Impressions] Of Relatives Because I Heard So Many Different Sounds. My Dad Was In The Music Business And Of Course My Uncle Was A Giant [music Producer], But My Dad In Particular Had The House Filled With These Dixieland Jazz Stars.
