What can I say about a world without Garry Shandling? This is where I need Garry. He would have something pithy, and there would be a laugh, and your heart would break at the same time. He changed my life.

I would daydream about what it would be like to be an actor. I would even do talk shows where I interviewed myself.

I went bald when I was 18. My father cried. He cried about many things. But it allowed me to play older men in summer stock.

The first time I met Garry Shandling was my audition for 'The Larry Sanders Show,' with Garry and his casting director Francine Maisler. I can recall every minute of it. He was gracious and kind, and he read with me. He was terrific.

Without literature my life would be miserable.

Life will not break your heart. It'll crush it.
