“My mother was suffering every day of her life, and what right did I have to be happy if she was suffering? So whenever I got happy about something, I felt the need to cut it off, and the only way to cut it off was to pray. 'Forgive me Lord.' For what, I didn't know.”

“I wanted to do - there was this film called 'Magic' that Anthony Hopkins did. And the director wanted me. The writer wanted me. Joe Levine said no, I don't want any comedians in this.”

“I'm not a natural writer like, let's say - I'm not talking about Arthur Miller; that's a whole other thing - but let's say Woody Allen. But the more I've written, the more I've found that there is a deep well in me somewhere that wants to express things that I'm not going to find unless I write them myself.”

“I want to be happy going to work. I want to do a show I'm proud of.”

“When everyone recognizes Jehovah's name, then everyone will be happy because everyone will know what to do and how to do it.”

“I was doing well for myself and wanted to play different roles and not just be happy portraying glamorous characters.”
