What's great about being a character actor is you know that you can survive forever. It's not about the gloss of your eyebrows.
From Martin Short
I have sometimes imagined my own death and brought myself to tears.
What I learned, a little too late, was that the 'traditional' Martin Short target viewer weighs under 300 pounds. Unfortunately, I was on during daytime.
One of my great influences was Don Knotts as Barney Fife.
You try to figure out things to keep yourself interested. It's very easy to get lulled.
You go through publicists because it's easy for a publicist to say to another publicist, 'No'.
Sometimes people get passionate about the obscure jokes.
Someone once asked me what was the weirdest question I was ever asked. And I was stymied.
People do think I'm Jewish. But we're Irish Catholic. My father had a brogue.
No one is any one thing.
