I Have Been Accused Of Never Saying

Christmas Is Fun Anyway. It's A Myth Organized Over The Years And Gained Different Mythological Qualities As The Years Go By.

And That Works For Me. So That If This Is It, You Better Take It At Its Right Proportion. That There Are Serious Things, But Most Things Are Temporal And Ephemeral, And You Should Cultivate That Attitude. That Joy And Love And All The Verities Are What Counts. So I Try Not To Take Too Many Things Seriously, And If I Find Myself Caught Up In The Seriousness Of The Moment, Within A Period Of Time, I'm Able To Cajole Myself Out Of It.

I Believe That When Things Happen, They Happen With A Purpose.

You Cannot Begin To Imagine The Shock I Had When I Came Down On The Floor For The First Time. First Of All, There's This Whole Thing About Playing Sitcom Comedy. I Didn't Want To Do The Sitcom Thing, But I Didn't Know What Else To Do. I Went Slowly. We Went Through The Week Of Rehearsal, Then We Got On The Floor With The Cameras, Which I'm Used To Because Of My Experience In The Old Days. Then Came Camera Day, With An Audience, And It Was Stunning, Enthralling, Exciting And Chaotic. I Had Never Experienced Anything Like That Before, As An Actor. I Was Part Minstrel, Part Actor.

The Idea Of Being A Professional Actor Never Occurred To Anybody, Including Myself, For A Long Time.
