It's fun to discover things. I wouldn't want everything laid out, simply and too obviously.

I think everybody has a public persona. We all present ourselves.

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.

My goal, whenever entering a project, is always to gain 12 pounds.

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

I learn things in a backward way. I learn all those limitations, and slowly my brain soaks them up, and if things go right, you just, in an organic way, translate your ideas into those templates. That's the way I perceive the process happening.

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