I was always the guy getting kicked out of my classes at school for having an attitude problem.
I learned a lot about handling fans from established stars.
Some Harvard guy said that acid would open our minds, pot wouldn't hurt us, and cocaine was benign.
I just went into this business for laughs. I guess I don't mind being an actor so much now.
All my children inherited perfect pitch.
Anyone who wants to run has to be a Jimmy Swaggart, minus the default.
With Clinton, there's no question that I would have made fun of his out-and-out lying. But he's also a good friend.
The best comedy I ever did was when people didn't know who I was.
You could knock my teeth out and break my nose, and there'd be something funny about it to me.
Once I got married and had kids, I moved away from romantic roles, because it seemed wrong to have my 3-year-old wondering why Daddy was kissing someone else.
Fame is a very unnatural human condition. When you stop to realize that Abraham Lincoln was probably never seen by more than 400 people in a single evening, and that I can enter over 40 million homes in a single evening due to the power of television, you have to admit the situation is not normal.
What interests me is being alive and being with friends that I care about and being as creative as I can given circumstance.
I guess I look so straight and normal nobody expects me to pick my nose and fall.
I don't know if my looks will ever get any better, but my pratfalls sure won't.
