You say you're going to be the pope, become the pope.

I think that cable TV is a great venue to do something interesting.

Directing is probably the best job, but acting is really, really great. It's like a fun vacation that you get paid for.

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

I've always tried to have a rule that you shouldn't make fun of innocent people who can't defend themselves. I find that a little unseemly and distasteful. But nothing's really sacred to me.

You shouldn't eat red meat, but you shouldn't make resolutions you can't keep.

With acting, if a friend asked me to be in a movie or TV show, there's a lot of things on my résumé I did without reading them or knowing what they were. I just said I'd do that because a friend wrote it, directed, produced, acted in it. With directing, I'm sticking to my guns, not that a lot of people are begging me to direct.
