After 'Raymond,' there was this big feeling of, 'What do I do next?'

The successful golfers - they're like astronauts or pilots. They have that demeanor that they can focus and stay within that one moment and nothing distracts them. That's not me.

I do still get intimidated by certain things.

You know, a TV show is a slow build.

I can't complain about my career, that's for sure.

My kids are growing up and it's hard to accept they are their own person and they're independent.

My career has been my craziest adventure.

I didn't want to have to follow 'Everybody Loves Raymond' with another sitcom. Let it be my sitcom legacy, and leave it at that.

I never want to give up stand-up. Because I still get a thrill out of it.

I'm at an age where crying is easier for me now. I like it. I can cry at a poignant commercial; I can cry at a - this is a running joke in my house, but... a good 'Star-Spangled Banner' can make me cry. I'm not kidding.

If I had never gotten famous or rich, I think I'd be equally neurotic.

I see the bad in everything I do.

In stand-up, there's that idea that comedy comes from a dark place, but it's not a rule.

I'm a 14 handicap. Anyone who golfs knows what that means. I shoot 90 to a hundred or, once in a while, 85.

I go to Hooters for lunch every day. Then for coffee.

When you're in the living room every week for nine years as one character, it's hard for some people to see you as someone else.

Anna would be just as happy with me if I were a plumber. As a matter of fact, when she married me, I was working at a bank and living at home. I didn't move out until I was 29!

If my father had hugged me even once, I'd be an accountant right now.

Everyone should have kids. They are the greatest joy in the world. But they are also terrorists. You'll realize this as soon as they're born, and they start using sleep deprivation to break you.

I realized I need to work. I need to be creative. As much as I have angst and anxiety, when I'm idle, it's even more. I have to keep moving. Otherwise, I catch up with myself.

As successful as it may appear I am, I don't really feel that. It's like, you know you've achieved some level of success, and you know what you've done, and yet you still feel you have more to do and more to prove.

Whenever I walk off the golf course, I thank God that I'm able to tell a joke. I thank God I'm good at something.

My hair was long - in my high school year book, I looked like an ugly David Cassidy.

The comics that are just conversing with you up there and drawing on their own life, yeah, I guess so. I guess some do political humor, some do topical humor, but the ones that I like, the ones that are appealing to me, were guys who were just talking to you about their life.

I feel like this is a dream - and I apologize for how I dressed some of you.

The first time I played golf was in Flushing Meadows, Queens, when I was about 16 or 17. They had an 18-hole pitch-and-putt. My buddies and I would hop the fence and sneak on and play.

You know, before I would think, my cab driver hates me. Now I think my limo driver hates me.

I do what I do because I love it.

I'm always giving myself the Alzheimer's test. My shrink told me to do this. It takes one minute. You name every word that comes to mind that begins with the letter F.

In school, I wasn't a very good student - I was very irresponsible and never did the studying but always liked to get the laugh.

My joke used to be about my father and Peter Boyle: that anything you see Peter Boyle do on TV, my father has done in real life without pants on.

I married a saint - well, a saint who curses.

I was wracked with insecurity.

My wife gets all the money I make. I just get an apple and clean clothes every morning.

I don't watch 'Mad Men.'

I remember I did the movie 'Eulogy,' and there was a dramatic moment in it. It was pretty heavy, and I went for it. It was... I didn't feel that comfortable doing it.

Right after 'Raymond' I had a world-is-my-oyster attitude, but I found out I don't like oysters. I had this existential emptiness. 'What is my purpose? Who am I?' I had a big identity crisis.

People are going to see both of us and think it's an Abbott and Costello kind of thing. It's not an easy switch. It's not an easy transition from TV to film.

I want to do well and I want to fit in.

I'm from New York.

I'm a little different from the average dude because I'm on high-def TV now.

Each day it's like: 'How many more days am I going to feel young and vibrant? I feel young and vibrant now, but I also feel the aches and pains a little bit.

My favorite band - and Bobby Cannavale and Terry Winter have already made fun of me for this - is Chicago.

I have some classes in accounting, but I don't know anything about accounting. I - you know, when my accountant tells me all the things he does, it's a foreign language to me.

When you go to standup, there seems to be a common denominator of some form of need or want for validation from the audience that maybe you were lacking as a kid.

I don't want to be a spokesman for family values, but that's the way my standup is perceived.

Doris Roberts had an energy and a spirit that amazed me. She never stopped. Whether working professionally or with her many charities or just nurturing and mentoring a green young comic trying to make it as an actor, she did everything with such a grand love for life and people, and I will miss her dearly.

I still feel like an immature idiot inside, but I look in the mirror and - as a friend of mine once said- this old guy keeps getting in the way.

If golf wasn't enjoyable and there wasn't a lot of humor and enjoyment, even though the game is so frustrating, you would wonder why you put yourself through it.

Every backstory involves my father. I remember hearing Gary Oldman talking about backstories and saying, 'I got to stop using my father...' And I feel the same way. I don't know. What I come up with always involves some element of this son trying to prove himself to his father.
