My goal was never to win awards. Mine was let me get to a place where I don't have to work. I don't have to do anything I don't want to.

I say I'm the best actor in America who's never done a movie.

I got into television, and I'm a television guy, so I've never really had a movie career.

Security was another reason. You never know what can happen to you when you earn a lot of money.

When I read the pilot 'for Married with Children', it just reminded me of my Uncle Joe... just a self-deprecating kind of guy. He'd come home from work, and the wife would maybe say 'I ran over the dog this morning in the driveway'. And he would say 'Fine, what's for dinner?

I did anything that would get me on the air.
