My father could swear in Gaelic and English, by the way, ladies and gentlemen.
Most movies suck, even the independent ones. Hollywood is like baseball: Hit three good ones out of 10 and you're a Hall of Famer.
I studied acting in school and then, of course, couldn't get an acting job.
My nieces and my nephews think the only thing that I do is 'Ice Age. ' That's fine with me because pretty soon they'll grow up enough to realize that I suck or that my time has passed, whichever it might be.
How many whales do we really need? I figure five. One for each ocean.
I certainly know guys in comedy, I know some actors, and I definitely know some musicians, who have survived to a certain age and make a good living doing what they do, but nobody knows who they are. They wake up every day and they have the ability to get paid practicing their art, but underneath it all, if you scratched the surface, you still get, "If I only had my own show. . . ," or "If I only had my own band. . . " It's what people always do when they want to be their own star.

I guess you get pigeon-holed in Hollywood, but I'm ok with that because I've been able to do a lot. I started in the theater, then I went to stand-up comedy, and then when I went into the movies to do comedy and drama and big movies and small movies.

Jerry Lewis has been married twenty times. He gets married on a Tuesday, they find his wife dead in a swimming pool on Thursday. Maybe if you married someone who's old enough to swim next time, Ok Jerry?

I'm a huge Kevin Youkilis fan.
There are some guys I know for a fact, like Louis C. K. , who always talk about how not-great of an actor he is, and he's terrific on his show. But I know Louis would play a fantastic dramatic role in something, too. He just needs somebody to grab him and say, 'Come in here and do this. '
I'd love to play in a Red Sox game. It would be so awesome to actually walk out on the field and play, just for one inning. I'd also steal everything I could get my hands on in the clubhouse, which is why they won't let me do it.
