My Favorite Unknown Movie Is 'the Comic.'

I Was Lucky To Get The Kinds Of Parts I Wanted. I Always Said I Didn't Want To Do Anything My Kids Can't See.

Jon Stewart Kills Me. I Love Him. And Bill Maher. He Does An Hour On Hbo. But Entirely Political. It Is Awfully Rough, But He Does Make Me Laugh.

When I Was A Kid, I Loved All The Silent Comedians - Buster Keaton, Laurel And Hardy, Chaplin. And I Used To Imitate Them. I'd Go To See A Buster Keaton Movie And Come Home And Try Things Out I'd Seen. I Learned To Do Pratfalls When I Was Very Young.

I Went Public With The Alcoholism, Very Early On... The Early '70s. Mercedes Mccambridge, The Actress, I Think Was The First Recognizable Person That Went Before Congress And Talked About It, And I Thought That Was A Good Idea, To Take Some Of The Stigma Away From It And Say "normal, Average People Can Fall Prey To It." So It's Been Public For Me. I Did A Movie About An Alcoholic. And Today, You're Nobody Unless You've Been To Rehab. It Seems Like Everybody Has Some Kind Of An Addiction.

I Grew Up In Danville, Illinois, Right In The Middle Of The State.
