Zitat des Tages von Phil Hartman:
I've succeeded beyond my wildest dreams - financially and the amount of fun I have in my life.
I found the writing arena to be much less competitive.
The one thing I could do was voices and impersonations and weird characters, and there was really no call for that, except on Saturday Night Live.
As an actor, I felt I couldn't compete. I wasn't as cute as the leading man; I wasn't as brilliant as Robin Williams.
Even at Westchester High in West LA, I was class clown.
One of the remarkable things about my career is that it has been marked by steady, incremental progress. No sudden spikes up, and no sudden downfalls, either.
I could do John Wayne, Jack Benny, Jack Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and entertain my friends. But I never seriously considered it as a career choice.
I think my most famous was 'Poco's Legend.' It's a white album with a simple line drawing of a horse. It almost has a Picasso feel to it. I remember that Rusty Young, the lead singer of the band, said, 'I want you to draw a horse for the song 'Legend,' which is about a phantom spirit horse. I want you to do it in several lines.'
