I do dumb stuff, like playing my favorite dumb Barry White song and lip-synching into the mirror so it looks like his voice is coming out of my mouth.

I believe a kid who is playing is not alone. There is something brought alive during play, and this something, when played with, seems to play back.

I grew up in a house that had a whole lot of trouble. As much trouble as you could imagine.

I started doing cartoons when I was about 21. I never thought I would be a cartoonist. It happened behind my back. I was always a painter and drawer.

Historically, a successful life in comedy is a dream that's as equally pondered and unpursued as being an astronaut.

Humor is the most engaging cowardice.

The thing with 'No Man's Land' is not to see it, but how to make people to go to see it. The one negative criticism I've heard is that the relationship between tragedy and comedy is so perfect that it becomes suspicious. I take it as a complement.

The only way physical comedy works is if you don't see it coming. And the harder the fall, the funnier it is. You have to really take some shots, and I've walked away with some bumps and bruises.
