Let Me Tell You About My Family.

Minnesotans Really Think They Run The Whole World, I Love That.

I Was A Terrible Actor. But John Hughes Liked Me, And He Encouraged Me. I Made Him Laugh, I Guess Is The Bottom Line, And Then He Gave Me That Part In Ferris Bueller's Day Off As The Flower Man. It's Just A Nothing Part In One Sense, But It's Such An Iconic Movie That People Will Ask Me From Time To Time, "are You In Ferris Bueller's Day Off?" "yeah."

I Really Made The Cartoon Life With Louie With One Reason In Mind: I Didn't Have A Very Good Relationship With My Dad, And We Didn't All Watch Tv Together Like We Should've, Like You Hope For, Like You've Seen On Tv, And I Wanted To Make It For Moms And Dads And Their Kids. That Was Always My Goal. And Then I Wanted To Put Real Things In It. We Did A Thing About The Homeless And Won A Humanitas Award For That.

Your Agent Or Manager Tells You. They Go, "you're Out. They're Gonna Get A New Guy." But Then I Didn't Feel Bad. I Didn't Take It Personally. Not That I'm Competitive At All. But You Have Pride In That, You Know? You Want Your Ratings To Be Good. But Now That I'm 62, I Don't Really Care About The Ratings. I Don't Care About The Reviews. I Care About The Work, And I Care About The People That I'm Working With, And I Try To Make The Experience For Them And Myself As Good As It Can Be.

I Have A Cousin Ernie Who Buys Stuff. He's Got A Big Snowblower That's Actually The Biggest Snowblower You Can Buy, With A Remote Control, So He Doesn't Even Have To Go Outside. He's Got The Microwave And A Satellite Dish, It's All In One. He Cooks And Watches At The Same Time.
