I think it's that wherever I go, people are so nice to me, and they come up by the hundreds, and they say nice, funny things. As an actor, I just like to make people happy, make them laugh. That's our job, to entertain, and if I'm entertaining you folks, then I'm happy.

Or maybe a person is just made up of a lot of peopleMaybe we’re accumulating these new selves all the time.
