Quote

[on being typecast as an authority figure] "Thank God for the white male power structure."

[on his role in Seinfeld (1989)] "When you start becoming a commodity because of your face or your stature or whatever, those opportunities become fewer and fewer. So it's nice to get on a comedy and have people go, "You're funny!'"
