The things I see now on TV and in movies are so outlandish. Kids doing rude things with pies! And the language that they use! It's being outrageous for the sake of being outrageous. I can't watch it. It turns me off.

When I did comedy I made fun of myself. If there was a buffoon, I played the buffoon. And people looked at me and said, Gee, that's like Uncle David, or That's like a friend of mine.. And they related through that. I didn't make fun of them. I made fun of me.
