I Have Been Accused Of

I've Never Been Without A Dog. I've Made Trips Across The Country With A Dog. I've Been In That Angst Of Loneliness, Where You're Really Alone In The Universe, Except For The Dog.

You Cannot Begin To Imagine The Shock I Had When I Came Down On The Floor For The First Time. First Of All, There's This Whole Thing About Playing Sitcom Comedy. I Didn't Want To Do The Sitcom Thing, But I Didn't Know What Else To Do. I Went Slowly. We Went Through The Week Of Rehearsal, Then We Got On The Floor With The Cameras, Which I'm Used To Because Of My Experience In The Old Days. Then Came Camera Day, With An Audience, And It Was Stunning, Enthralling, Exciting And Chaotic. I Had Never Experienced Anything Like That Before, As An Actor. I Was Part Minstrel, Part Actor.

Don't Be Afraid Of Making An Ass Of Yourself. I Do It All The Time And Look What I Got.

You Have To Create Your Life. You Have To Carve It, Like A Sculpture.

There's A Joy And A Pain About Directing Where The Dreams You Have Are Becoming Concrete But The Attention To Detail, The Need For Time Is Such That It's Overwhelming At Times, And The Stream Of Responsibility.
