Quotes

  • [observation, 2013, on the trouble he brought on himself seven years earlier] That’ll never happen again. I know how to behave – to consciously behave. When something like that comes up,I don’t let the heat of anger burn me up as I did. When you’re under the helm of anger, watch out,’cause it’ll take you down. It’s like being possessed by a demon.
  • [on why he returned to television] Well, I’m an artist. You do it because you love to do it. It’s what you are. It’s the color of your fur. It’s the same after all these years.
  • [on signing on to appear in ‘Kirstie’] When I was doing ‘Seinfeld’ I was very intense. Physical comedy takes more time to set up – rehearsing how to come through the door, that slide I did. So I was always in development, and that made me feel like I wasn’t able to sit back and enjoy the ride. So this time, I want to be more like a child out on the street, just playing and having fun, and not taking it all so seriously.
  • My job is to stay out of his way. – in an interview with Oprah explaining how he prepared for the character of Kramer
