Growing up in Rhode Island, my friends would have strung me up if I had been a Yankees fan.

I think people are surprised when I string two sentences together. But I had a fiercely academic upbringing.

I put myself in the category of "Lucky Guy," and my hopes for the future are that I can continue to push the envelope for myself, and creatively and see what's next.

I have expanded my mind and destroyed my liver but I didn't give up.

There are times in your life when you feel like the dumbest man on the planet and you’re insecure about something, and then there are times where you feel like, “Hey, I’m a pretty smart guy and I’m pulling it together …”

Still when I go on talk shows, I worry that I have to live up to a comedic persona.

Both of my parents are actually music teachers.
