My painting teacher in high school used to say, 'I can't paint like I want to, but through practice I'll get better.' But I don't think that's true. I think sometimes you just can't paint.

I loved 'Freaks and Geeks.' I don't know a better show.

I need to make sure that when I'm running out to the drugstore I'm not wearing a Biore strip or something. Not that I expect anyone to recognize me, but on the off chance they do, I just don't want to embarrass myself.

I think I get certain pleasure from writing what I'm performing.

Growing up, I had one very specific idea of what a wedding should be, and that was the wedding of Fraulein Maria and Captain von Trapp in 'The Sound of Music.'

In Los Angeles, people dress with the deep and earnest hope that people will do nothing but stare at them.

One nice thing that I have discovered about Los Angeles is the enthusiasm with which people dress.
