I may sound like a megalomaniac, but I feel like I'm equipped to become a great, memorable comedian, if I keep working my ass off and staying at the pace I'm at, and I feel a responsibility to do that because of the women who have done it before me, and the ones who need to do it after me.
I wrote a million words in the first year, and I could never have done that outside of prison.
Playing Mrs. Baskets was an interesting experience for me. It was the most rewarding thing I've done since Life With Louie. So you never know: If somebody asks you to put a wig and a dress on, you shouldn't just say "no" right away. You should at least see if there's money, fame, and satisfaction involved.
I've done my damndest to rip a reader's nerves to rags, I don't want him satisfied.
Doing a film and saying, I've done a really dark film and now I have to do a comedy. . . That's not me. If a script comes along and it's dark I'll absolutely do it and take the consequences. I'm not fussed about the image that goes along with it.
Success for me will be where the body of work I've done afforded me the opportunity to be as good as I can be, and to explore myself and to see what I'm capable of. People like that share a willingness to be scared and to take chances.

There are times when I think that the reading I have done in the past has had no effect except to cloud my mind and make me indecisive

I'd always done family-friendly stuff. I wanted to do a film where I could show my darker side and make people uncomfortable.
When you sign on to do a job, you hope you'll be able to get it done. But that's not always in your control.
We throw all our attention on the utterly idle question whether A has done as well as B, when the only question is whether A has done as well as he could.
There is no such thing as a lack of faith. We all have plenty of faith, it's just that we have faith in the wrong things. We have faith in what can't be done rather than what can be done. We have faith in lack rather than abundance but there is no lack of faith. Faith is a law.
You don't have to travel, but I find extended travel to be a helpful tool for reexamining yourself and the constraints you've artificially placed on your life. It's easy to believe everything has to be done one way if you're always in one place around the same people.
You know, I've had a helluva life. Not just the acting part. I've flown in an international balloon race. I've piloted my own plane. I've ridden to the hounds. I've done a lot of exciting things.
Change only one thing, change from misery to bliss. from sadness to celebration. And it can be done very easily because misery is an unnatural thing.
System debugging, like astronomy, has always been done chiefly at night.
I would much rather have 1,000 visitors click over to my website via a podcast interview that I’ve done on someone else’s website than have 1,000 search result visitors from Google. Anyday.
Don't do to someone else what you wouldn't want done to you.
