My career has been a gradual climb. I think that's part of the reason why I've had longevity.

I want to be around a really long time. I want to be a thorn in the side of everything as long as possible.

To sustain longevity, you have to evolve.

I can't believe I've been doing it so long. In the last three or four years, I've slowed down. I'm doing only the roles I really want to do.

I'm fascinated by how you'll change your position so many times over a lifetime, but really what you're doing is occupying a series of positions on a landscape.

But my longevity is due to my good timing.

My goal is to just keep playing roles that are different from the roles I've played before.

I'm lucky because I have never been pigeonholed and the roles have kept on coming.

The key to longevity is to learn every aspect of music that you can.

I see no reason to quit. I can't imagine walking away from being Big Bird. I mean, that's an awfully good job that there's not too many of them. So I just want to keep doing it till I can't do it anymore.
