Whether Arrogantly Or What, I View Myself

I Still Do Live Concerts All Over The Country - About Four A Month - With Singing And Characters And Improv. It Keeps Me Limber. I'll Never Lose That. And Comedy Is Still The Bread And Butter.

I Think I've Been Really Lucky To Keep My Career So Varied, And To Be Open. There's Safety In Repetition, But There's Also A Trap There.

The Thing In Comedy Is That Once You Start Worrying About Something Not Succeeding, You're Frozen. There's No Verdict On Anything. You Can Make ¡three Amigos!, And Some People Will At The Time Say, "oh, That's Too Silly." Then Five Years Later, Silly Is Hip. Now It's Considered Art. I Never Comment On Anything I Do, Because If I Say Anything Negative About X Film, Or X Tv Show, Or X Project, People Who Saw It And Loved It Go, "well, Am I An Idiot?"

All The Actor Does Is, He Tries To Get As Many Takes As He Can Out Of The Director That Day. So He Can Walk Away And Say To Himself, "hey, It's In There. I'm Not Going To Edit It. I'm Not Going To Make Those Choices. If They Want To Blow It, It's Fine. But I've Done All I Can." You're Right. I'm Always Amazed When Actors Bash Films As If Those Grips And That Cinematographer Didn't Work Hard Enough.

People Do Think I'm Jewish. But We're Irish Catholic. My Father Had A Brogue.
