I try not to take myself too seriously. I like to have a good time.
Liberalism, contrary to popular belief, is facing backward in considering the injustice of its ancestors.

Contrary to popular belief, I really enjoyed my time on 'Dancing With the Stars.'

Inevitably, when directors work with me on a set, they say, 'This isn't what I was expecting. I thought you were going to be very serious.' But I like to stay loose and have a good time and not take myself too seriously. I think, otherwise, you get in your own way.
While I put forth the suntan and the teeth and the cavalier attitude, I've survived under the worst of eras and times, and I've always had a good time doing it, because I never really took myself seriously, nor did I take life seriously because it is already terribly serious.
