In this age of media and Internet access, we are much more talkative than ever before.

I wouldn't succeed at musical theater.

You're raising a kid and you give it food and shelter and, most importantly, you give it the feeling that it's special. I think people react to celebrities like that - I mean, they treat celebrities like children.

I don't like watching people work if they're making art.

I also watch a lot of really bad television when I'm writing, "Like Dancing With the Stars," with my daughter.

If somebody says what they want or what they need it gives the person the chance to say yes or no, instead of suffering in silence or depravation or whatever it is.

I don't discount belief. I just discount most of the things that people believe in.
