I wouldn't live with me, believe me. I'm moody.

I know, it's weird that I've never done a musical. I turned down two of them. 'The Lion King' and 'The Producers.' I turned two of the biggest Broadway musicals down, am I a mess?

I'm crass, contemptuous and crude, obstreperous, obnoxious, rambunctiously raw and rude.

Stand-up was like being on a Barbie townhouse stage.

Look, you're either loved or hated. Which is a good thing, as Bette Davis used to say.

I mean, the things you think will never happen, you have to confront; those things that come into your life that you thought you never could deal with, you do.

Who do you think I am, Pete Rose? I don't bet. I come from a long line of compulsive gamblers. Gambling scares me.

I love animation, I really do, but I don't do it for the children.

I like to hold a book. When someone sends me a script, I ask for a hard copy or print one out.

I love doing scripted things. What little acting ability I have I am holding on with my hangnails.

I won't do reality. That is done. And I don't want people following me around with a camera 24 hours a day.

But if two people do almost nothing except search for one another, it's hardly surprising if they run across each other by chance.

From naive simplicity we arrive at more profound simplicity.

Those who would trade in their freedom for their protection deserve neither.

When there is a crisis, that's when some are interested in getting out and that's when we are interested in getting in.

The much heaves and palpitates. It is multidirectional and has a mayor.

A truly good book is something as wildly natural and primitive, mysterious and marvelous, ambrosial and fertile as a fungus or a lichen.

I wasted years worrying about what other people thought.

Do you know, every time I've seen you you've been like the Grim Reaper of goodwill and cheer. You should find another profession.

Think of a hypothesis as a card. A theory is a house made of hypotheses.
