Quote

The really good thing about my career is that I never went through a phase where I played characters who had names like Partygoer, Waiter, or Guy #1.

In the business of acting, those are the actors that make the trains run on time, you know? There's nothing without them.

I know, there are so many great lines [in Tommy Boy]. People say to me, Did you eat paint chips for a living? Or, These shoes are worth more than your life. And the one I get all the time is, Brothers don't shake hands, brothers gotta hug!

Medical-genre shows have been around forever, they will be around forever, and I think this [Code Black] is a great iteration of the next generation.

[Maggie Smith] brings new meaning to the phrase doesn't suffer fools. She has just the most amazing, dry timing of anyone ever, I think. I think everyone's always known about it, but with her resurgence on Downton Abbey, a whole new generation has been introduced to it, which is just great.

[Wayne's World and Tommy Boy] was all from hosting Saturday Night Live the first time [in 1990]. I just had such a great time, and I had such a simpatico relationship with Mike Myers. And Lorne [Michaels]. I'll always be grateful for Lorne, who saw me as funny.

I was not familiar with the book [before filming in The Outsiders] , though. Interestingly, The Outsiders had not reached the point where it is now, where it's required reading in sixth and seventh grades. In my sixth and seventh grade, we did not, but today everyone does.

I literally knew nothing when I did that show [Tony Flanagan]. It was the first time I signed an autograph, it was the first time I got fan letters, it was the first time people screamed when I came out.

[ Hosting Saturday Night Live ] paved the way for Parks And Rec and The Grinder, the Comedy Central Roast, and that whole side of my career.

I think of myself as a human being first and foremost, and secondly as a person whose profession is acting. If people want to make that into something more or less, that's up to them.

Contrary to popular belief, I don't go out very much. When I do go out, a lot of times it'll be to something like a heavyweight fight, and I'll be photographed, so that people have this conception that I go out a lot.

People are human. There's such a premium today on being perfect. That's just not the way people are.

Being pulled that long and that hard for a 12-hour day gave me migraines. It's what they used to do before there were facelifts for actresses – you know, Joan Crawford's whole career was this. Then the makeup is like Earl Scheib auto body paint sprayed on my face.

It's part of your job as an actor to put your personal problems behind you and work. Good actors can do that.
