My daughter got me a 'World's Best Dad' mug. So we know she's sarcastic.

Drama is more focused and it reveals itself to you, whereas comedy is just right there, when you first read it.

My godfather was a Chicago policeman, and I've always looked at law enforcement as a challenging and interesting job.

I felt my personal life was not what it should be. It had nothing to do with Mr. Show - I'm monstrously appreciative and understand what it did for me and to me - but after four years, I just felt like I needed to do something else. I guess I wanted to be in a different place, physically.

I think independent movies are actually very challenging right now, because it was this huge scene and it was great for a few years. Then, it was totally co-opted by the studios. Now, it's become very corporate, the independent scene.

Even if people end up doing awful things, you can empathize with their motives when you know them. When you get to know the person, you can understand why they make those choices, even if they're bad. And oftentimes people do have good drives that are sympathetic and can even be seen as selfless and good-hearted.

It's nice that the independent scene is taken seriously, and has been.
