Quotable Quotes:

"I'm not sure I can confirm the scandalous rumor that John Lithgow is Brad Pitt's uncle."

"[on the constant time-slot changes and ultimate cancellation of 3rd Rock from the Sun (1996)] If NBC had set out to ruin it, they couldn't have done a better job. They kept trying to use us as a weapon instead of a show to be taken care of. It would have been nice to have stayed a big hit, but I'd rather be a great show that nobody was watching than a lousy show that was a big hit, which is the case for most of the others." (IMDB)
