I'll confess right here that I secretly wish I'd have drawn a strip about a little boy with a fake tiger, going for adventures throughout the universe in spaceships of his imagination.

I knew 'Mars Needs Moms! ' would be a movie seconds after the title came to mind. Similarly, I also knew that my daughter would be calling me a dork as a default term of endearment eventually.

I ignore Hallmark Holidays. And this comes from a guy who has sold a million Opus greeting cards.

I happen to think nearly everybody - especially those one might find in the odd issue of 'People' magazine, including me - is frightfully boring, especially me. And Tom Cruise. Tom and I are alike in only this way.

It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

I grew up in Los Angeles and always wished I'd spent a childhood in a far different place.

My kids hear me behind my door, giggling like an idiot, and they roll their eyes at the blatant indignity of it all.
