People tell me I'm a comedian, but I don't approach acting from that perspective. I do know that everything in life has to do with your timing and perception.

I'm not one of those who spring up yelling, "Yippee! Another day!"

A very awkward situation occurs often in New York City when you are walking down a relatively empty sidewalk and there happens to be a person walking right next to you in the same direction as you at the exact same pace as you.
