There Is No Best Anything In Art.

Regardless Of The Fact That In This Country, Certainly In The Arts, We Treat Comedy As A Second-class Citizen, I've Never Thought Of It That Way. I've Always Thought It To Be Important. The Last Time I Looked, The Greeks Were Holding Up Two Masks. I've Always Thought Of It Not Only As Having Equal Value, But As The Craft Of It, Being Funny.

And That's One Thing That Helps Me Is I Learn It Blandly, Vanilla, Then I Don't Try To Act It Too Soon Because You Start To Act It, And You Kind Of Go Away From What The Next Sentence Is, What The Next Paragraph Is. So Get It Down So It Kind Of Can - It's In There So You Can Then, As I Call It, Dance On Top Of It.

I Never Starved. And You Know, Whatever Talent I Have, I've Relied On That, Versus Image Or Star. I Have Just Said, 'hire Me If You Want Somebody Good.' I Tried To Be As Good As I Could Be Every Time Out, And That's Kind Of Bridged The Decades.

You Know, Its Really Strange Now With The Internet, With Everyone Having An Unsolicited, Anonymous Opinion.

I Was Haunted By Trainers Going "up, Up, Up, Get Up." You Find Yourself Picking Your Head Up And Then Realizing, They Aren't Talking To Me.
