When you consider that Winters used humor (since childhood) to deal with the pain of lonelines and feeling rejected by his parents ….and that he was IMO just a natually and gifted man…it really puts what he accomplished into perspective.

NPR:
"Winters says he often drew on his Ohio childhood for characters. He says he was often lonely and his parents either ignored him or belittled him, even after his success."
