Quotations
I dreamt that Frasier was over and I was on this Sketch Show.
I'm not sure sophisticated comedy has a place on television any more. I'd like to think it still does … But I'm not sure the networks are interested, I'm not sure anybody else is interested in sophisticated comedy any more.
I guess Frasier and I have always looked for the same thing in life: being happy and making an honest living, trying to do some good in the world and changing a few minds if we can. Or at least lifting somebody's burden for a time.
