Anyone who wants to run has to be a Jimmy Swaggart, minus the default.
With Clinton, there's no question that I would have made fun of his out-and-out lying. But he's also a good friend.
The best comedy I ever did was when people didn't know who I was.
You could knock my teeth out and break my nose, and there'd be something funny about it to me.
Once I got married and had kids, I moved away from romantic roles, because it seemed wrong to have my 3-year-old wondering why Daddy was kissing someone else.
Fame is a very unnatural human condition. When you stop to realize that Abraham Lincoln was probably never seen by more than 400 people in a single evening, and that I can enter over 40 million homes in a single evening due to the power of television, you have to admit the situation is not normal.
What interests me is being alive and being with friends that I care about and being as creative as I can given circumstance.
I guess I look so straight and normal nobody expects me to pick my nose and fall.
I don't know if my looks will ever get any better, but my pratfalls sure won't.
How much do I owe you?
I watched every single Charlie Chaplin film.
It's never a good idea for a celebrity to sign autographs or take pictures if a crowd is gathering.
If you're in the White House, it's your house, and you can invite whatever friend you want.
Last good pratfall I did, I broke bones in both hands. I still feel it when people shake my hand.
