I have been influenced in my thinking by both west and east.

Fortunately, I happened to go east at a time when live television was centered in New York.

It doesn't bother me that I'm not a household word on the East Coast. Baton Rouge, Raleigh, Minneapolis - I'm so popular in these cities where you've never imagined an East Coast comedian working.

I think 'Eastbound & Down' is one of the great television shows, ever.

As an actor and as a person you come together with being in familiar territory although that has not been my whole life. That's been a part of it. I think a lot of people associate me with the west because of Sundance.

But the West of the old times, with its strong characters, its stern battles and its tremendous stretches of loneliness, can never be blotted from my mind.

I'm a huge fan of 'Eastbound & Down.' It's one of my favorite shows.

The relationship between East and West needs to be and can be fixed via pop culture.

I don't need to be wildly famous for my life to make sense.

It was because of my great interest in the West, and my belief that its development would be assisted by the interest I could awaken in others, that I decided to bring the West to the East through the medium of the Wild West Show.
