I just look back, and I say, you know, Christopher Guest just raised my whole career to another level.

People still quote my lines from 'Best in Show.'

I've been in a lot of shows, I will say that. Every once in a while, I'll look at a tape of something I've done, and I won't even remember having done it.

Getting those parts in the Christopher Guest movies was the second biggest helper to my career after 'Fernwood.'

When I started, there was a phase where I wanted to be a cowboy star. I didn't want to do deep, serious parts.

I loved Bob Hope and the way he would turn to the camera and break the fourth wall.

Comedy always came easier for me. But I would have loved to have been an action hero.

If you're going to take a risk as a comic, make sure it's surrounded by other things that you're certain are funny.

Comedy relieves you. A lot of times, we think we're the only people bothered by certain things. Then you hear a comic say, 'Don't you hate it when...' And it's, 'Oh, my God! Of course!'

A great director is someone who makes you feel like you're moving forward.

One of the great things about kids is they haven't heard a lot of the old jokes. You can get away with the corny ones.

I love to draw, although I wish I was better at it.

I have great respect for the authorities.

Everybody I run into goes, 'Hey, 'Best in Show!'' Or, 'Hey, that dog movie!' which I don't mind because I'm not too good on titles.

How can we say any one actor's work was better than another's?

If I like a movie, I see no reason not to go back for Parts 2, 3, 4, etc.

'Field of Dreams.' Definitely one of the best baseball films of all time. When Kevin Costner spoke to his dad, and his dad answered, I, um, I mean a lot of guys I know couldn't help crying.

'Fernwood 2-Night' didn't help me too much when it was first on.

Comedy is harder, because if there's no laughs, it's pretty bad. But drama, if there's no reaction, you can say, 'Well, it's not their cup of tea. Maybe it's too heavy for the audience.'

With improv or a full length play - you know how you go to a theater, and after 10 minutes you say, 'Oh, I don't like this thing,' but you don't want to get up and leave? At a sketch show, it's always something new every few minutes.

If you're not doing something right, you can feel it on stage, and if it isn't going well, the audience will tell you. A teacher can teach you sense memory and this and that, but until you get in front of an audience, you don't really feel it.

I always loved comedy growing up - Bob Hope, Red Skelton and Danny Kaye.

I have always been more relaxed around comedy.

I used to collect autographs outside of the old Cleveland Stadium. I can still remember everyone who took the time and spent a few minutes to make your day. That sticks with you.

I'll talk your ear off if you recognize me.

After working with Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, and Jonathan Mangum, I said, 'I am never going to talk about improv again.'

I think everyone has a door in their brain that says, 'Do not exit here.' If you go past it, you'll find all the dumb thoughts in there, all the stupid things that shouldn't be said. I've probably gone there more than anyone should in a given lifetime.

I've always wanted to be on a soap opera.

Because I started my career in improv, performing with Second City and the Ace Trucking Company, I always enjoy being in situations where - as an actor - you have to think fast & be light on your feet.

I love working with Ty Burrell.

I really enjoy working on 'Modern Family.'

My stepfather was a military man: he was in the Air Force. Reserve. You thought he'd seen front-line action, but he was stationed in Cleveland.

I was an only child.

I'd love to have Burt Reynolds' career.

I guess the essence of my comedy is to get into a very abnormal situation but act like it's normal.

I am re-collecting the baseball cards my mom had thrown out when I went away to school. You know you are an adult when you can buy a whole set of baseball cards instead of two packs at a time.

To a New Yorker, a 1948 Indians World Series baseball signed by the whole team might be worth only $200 to $300, but to a Clevelander like myself, it might be, like, $1,000 to $2,000.

I just love everything that Disney and Pixar do. Not only do they do beautiful films, but they have great messages for kids.

I try to shy away from playing cranky people, but if it's just a funny next-door neighbor or business man, I'll say, 'Sure, why not?'

I like the characters that have some redeeming quality or if it's interesting to me in any way.

The witch in 'Snow White' is a very scary image.

Kids can relate to having some scary person living near their house. They can relate to, 'Hey, don't go near that house.' We all can.
