Both 'OC' and 'Everwood,' there were people on set where you learned to stay away from them on a bad day.

With moviemaking, you can be halfway around the world for six months. So there are amazing benefits to doing TV, and with the platform change and the way it is, I would never ever rule out doing TV again.

Just be comfortable with who you are.

Most of the writers in TV are from L.A. or New York, and those are places where people are cynical and snarky. And they fly from L.A. to New York in an airplane over this vast, expansive land where people aren't snarky; they're a lot more like the Parks and Recreation characters.

I have some weird habits. For instance, I love beets. Show me a salad bar and I will clean them out of their beets.

Perfect sandwich? Two slices of white bread, mustard, mayo and a platinum American Express card.

You can't help but change when you have a kid, and for me it was just a sense of I didn't feel like anything was missing in my life and it wasn't. It all came at just the right time, and now if I am absent from my son, I do feel like something is missing.
