So to me, Texas Hold 'em puts me to sleep. At least when you play stud, you can be funny as you deal. Somebody some day is going to come up with a Stud show that's going to work.

You know, people come up with formulas who are uncreative. They can't picture something different so they can only go by something that's laid out for them.

My favorite comedians were Jimmy Durante, George Burns, senior citizens.

Most people would rather stay home and watch Casablanca for the fourth time or the 10th time on Turner Classic Movies than go see Matrix 12 or whatever the hell the flavor of the month is.

My favorite actors when I was a kid were in their '60s. Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne.

The stage is suspension of disbelief. Film is a literal medium.
