I'm a huge fan of things like The Wire and The Shield.

There was something about that form of comedy that's just difficult. It never really felt like you could just fully commit to all the colors that you carry with you.

One thing that's interesting is that whenever something starts, like the school year when you were a kid, it feels like such a significantly huge time in your life and how much life has changed. What's surprising is how quickly it's going by.

The easiest and most accessible emotion is rage.

It was all that stuff about taking your parents' car when you're 13, sneaking booze into rock shows and ditching school with your friends. I could relate to that as a former teenager, rather than as a present parent.

Follow your deepest dream, the one you had as a kidbut stay focused.

I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.
