Where are reliable journalism and reliable investigative voices going to come from? I love the days of old - the Walter Cronkites, the Dan Rathers.
From Jason Alexander
I would work with any one of them again in a heartbeat because it was joyous and incredibly easy.
I'm always more motivated by the pain of a funny character than by what makes him funny.
The show is like an Edwardian play - emotional life gets stepped on for the sake of accepted manners, and that's terrific for actors to play in.
Things that make me laugh range from a wonderful stand-up like Jerry Seinfeld, Louis C.K. and Chris Rock to my son Gabe, who does great improv work. I also look backwards to the great comedic actors like Jackie Gleason, Paul Lynde and Phil Silvers.
Television, in particular, doesn't look for talent; it looks for personas. You have a great persona? You can be a TV star.
Many people don't know our famous 'soup kitchen' episode on Seinfeld was inspired by an actual soup restaurant off 8th Avenue in New York.
We made a deal that was acceptable to us. We got paid very handsomely for our final season.
I still don't know much about directing a movie.
I kept being asked by corporations to do corporate gigs. And I said, 'I don't have anything. I'm not a stand-up. You want me to come sing show tunes for you? I don't think so.'
