As part of the process by which you hire me, you hire me. You just don't hire an hour of me to do a performance.

Your job as an actor is to stay employed.

I'm essentially a jobbing actor. If I'm out of work, I'll be the back end of a donkey.

You can't satisfy everybody. I will continue to do my job until I get fired, and the only people who can fire me are my fans.

Never hire someone who knows less than you do about what he's hired to do.

Anyone who works is a fool. I don't work - I merely inflict myself upon the public.

I hire people brighter than me and then I get out of their way.

But I'm very happy to work within tight parameters, and when you know you have an actor for two days, and you have to get that work done in two days, that focuses the mind wonderfully.

People wouldn't hire me for comedies. They would say, 'Oh, he doesn't do comedy,' and now it's really all I do.
