My father who was from a wealthy family and highly educated a lawyer Yale and Columbia walked out with the benefit of a healthy push from my mother a seventh grade graduate who took a typing course and got a secretarial job as fast as she could.

I loved the house the way you would any new house because it is populated by your future the family of children who will fill it with noise or chaos and satisfying busy pleasures.

I have a funny family but none of them are remotely in show business.

I wasn't even 20 at the time but it taught me something about drugs. They can take a good man a warm funny loving family man and turn him into a loser and worse.

When I was in college I was in the theater department which for anyone who has been involved in any kind of theater program you know that it's really wacky and tight-knit a real family. Me and my good friends from college would do random shows and plays that were sometimes serious but most of the time really goofy and funny.

I had a very funny family.

I really don't know what makes a comedian. I think it's a family background and environment. Yet if you put the same ingredients in another person he may never utter a funny line.

That's why I like to get out there and get people to see the other side of Mitt and know us in a different reflection when you see the family and how funny he is with the boys and with the grandkids. And you know just what a super guy he is. That's part of what I am doing is letting people see the other side of Mitt.

Movies these days have made killers into funny people. What's that all about? I've got kids and family and friends and I don't like bad things. I don't think they're funny and it's irresponsible to make movies that don't show you how that's not good.

I think I'm funny because my family my siblings were funny.
