attitude character voice
My characters all start with rhythms and sounds. Once I hear the voice and get into the rhythm, the attitude and the physicality just come out on their own.
thinking people personality
My Obama is getting pretty good ... I think I'll vote for whoever makes my portrayal easier. It takes time to put together a comic impression. It takes time to recognize the tics. Right now, for instance, I could do a dead- on Paul Ryan and people wouldn't recognize it. Personalities take a while to sin...
divorce two fire
You know, Elizabeth Taylor must be in Heaven going, 'Alright, fire two honey!'
regret father kids
I have no regrets. I wanted to raise the kids and be a present father. When I developed a movie, I was gone for a year. That didn't really work for me. That isn't fair to make these life-forms and then disappear.
real people pleasers
I'm a real people-pleaser.
dad kids love-is
I really enjoy being a dad, and maybe I took it too seriously, but I love being around my kids.
years littles theory
I have a theory that if you're famous more years than you're not famous, then you get a little nutty.
television ridiculous no-confidence
I did a lot of ridiculous television. Between 1980 and '85 I had no confidence, so I did everything I was told to do.
night years television
Well, I loved variety in television, I loved sketch comedy. At 'Saturday Night Live,' I stayed almost seven years.
character people chance
When people come to see my stand-up, they get a chance to see my characters interact with each other.
thinking juniors lasts
I always tend to think of all of my shows as possibly my last show. I'm like a junior Springsteen, without the underbite.
comedian kind modern
That's why modern corporate movie making has become so laborious that comedians are kind of kicked out by 50.
people long gentleman
You know ladies and gentlemen, a long time ago , there were lots of people, but that was a long time ago
mean thinking would-be
I think ABC sort of hoped I would be really like Carol Burnett. I mean literally, I think.
