I Hate To Lull The Audience Into

Whether Arrogantly Or What, I View Myself Simply As An Actor.

You Try To Figure Out Things To Keep Yourself Interested. It's Very Easy To Get Lulled.

One Of My Great Influences Was Don Knotts As Barney Fife.

I'm Totally Aware Of How Lucky I Am. I Have Health, Family, Children. I Do Work That Gives Me Total Joy And Allows Me To Make A Living, And Maybe, If I'm Lucky Enough, I'll Feel I've Fulfilled A Little Bit Of Service To Society Because I Brought Other People Some Laughter.

Comedy Is A Weird Thing. You Have To Understand, It's The Weirdest Thing You Can Do. There's No Consensus. It's Not Like... People Say, "i Saw Saving Private Ryan, And That Scene On The Beach Is Just So Moving." I Can't Imagine Anyone Who Would Say "i Don't Find That Moving!" But You Can Show, Whether It's Laurel & Hardy Or The Three Stooges Or Jiminy Glick In Lalawood, Some People Are Going To Look At It And Say "that's The Funniest Thing I've Ever Seen." Some People Will Say "i Don't Get It." Who's Right, Who's Wrong?
