I'm a big Philip Roth fan. I think "American Pastoral" is the great American novel of the past 30 to 40 years. It's a novel about what happened in the 1960s, and I think America is still dealing with what happened then. It's devastatingly sad.

I think the real heroic teachers are the ones who work with kids, like my mom and my sister do.

I enjoy comedy and I hope that people enjoy watching me do it.

I don't make decisions based on money.

I like my computer. But I don't know how to use it as well as the 10-year-old daughter.

I mean, you always want everybody to pat you on the back and tell you you're wonderful every time you do something; I think that's human nature.

I love dogs. They live in the moment and don't care about anything except affection and food. They're loyal and happy. Humans are just too damn complicated.
