If you want to avoid heated arguments, never discuss religion, politics, or whether the toilet paper roll should go over or under.

I write and write and write, and then I edit it down to the parts that I think are amusing, or that help the storyline, or I'll write a notebook full of ideas of anecdotes or story points, and then I'll try and arrange them in a way that they would tell a semi-cohesive story.

Whenever I do a parody it's not meant to make you hate anybody's music really.

I don't want to pooh-pooh modern pop. I appreciate that as well, but my personal favorite kind of music is guitar-based rock. I like grunge and garage bands and alternative music, but that's more my personal taste.

I did have a child, and I was reading a lot of picture books to her, but at the same time writing a children's book was something that I'd been wanting to do for many years, pretty much since the start of my career.

Left all my Beatle records out in the sun, got a coke bottle stuck on the end of my tongue.

I knew we were having problems when you put those piranhas in my bathtub again.
