When I was growing up, there was a character on TV; there was a character stereotype: it was personified by Mel on 'The Dick Van Dyke Show.'

I would not be unhappy were I the last cisgender male to play a female transgender on television.

I came to New York late; I was already past 30.

The Emmy should be an ensemble award, too. I kept howling at everyone else's performances.

I think the best thing that Jonathan and I have done is… having really strong people working with us - our work environment and all of our employees and everybody, we're like one big family."

I won't ever stop working in comedy films because all the comedies that I've worked in are different from each other.

I think the best comedic actors don't play it for comedy, they play it for reality. Then you find it funny because it's real. Playing the genre is the worst thing you can do - it's embarrassing.

Money doesn't make me tick. This definition of success doesn't make me tick. Managing some of the biggest stars in the world doesn't make me tick. Making my family proud makes me tick.
