It's just a matter of getting a young enough person who wants it enough and they'll do it.
If you going to live by a certain code - as Bob Dylan said, you gotta serve somebody.
I've worked hard in it and I take pride in the work that I've done as an artist, in many different fields.
I'm just truly out of things to say. I'm on the record about everything.
I'm both saying things that hopefully are funny, but mostly I'm acting out scenes both from my past, my present, as a father, I'm doing material on having kids, going to restaurants.
I'm a strong person with a strong foundation.
I was studying acting in New York, and wasn't being hired by anyone to do anything other than to work in an Oriental rug warehouse.
I was an artistic dilettante for a while, in photography and collage and the visual arts.
I think with the studies I've done I could describe myself as a painter as well as an actor.
I think maybe I'm too much of a wise guy or too independent and I just kind of end up doing whatever I feel like.
I studied privately with artists so I could learn what I was doing as a painter.
I see people especially in a place like New York or Los Angeles who are so busy trying to be something so that people will give them a job that when they get the job they've confused, even to themselves, who they are.
I prefer just being me and waiting an hour for a table if need be.
I make no bones about being a dedicated amateur at some of them and being a serious professional at some of them but I'm always pursuing improvement and getting into things up to my elbows.
I like to do things, I'm interested in a lot of things.
I just kind of do my work and go home.
I have every bit of confidence that my children will remember me with great love and charity, and my wife and friends.
I guess there are many factors, growing up in a solid family with great parents who screwed my head on straight.
I enjoy doing stand up because of the utter freedom of being on stage.
I don't care if people remember me.
