You can convey a lot of emotion with just some eyebrows and mouth movement.

I used to like to make myself sad, so I would listen to Bill Callahan as Smog.

My inners are not organs. They're actually mechanics, so I have a hole in my back, wind me up like the movie 'Hugo,' and then just say, 'Act,' you know?

We're all alone in this world.

It's really amazing to be a part of something that people have an emotional response to, even though it's a network sitcom. When you get a chance to meet fans or interact with them, you realize that there are a lot of people who the show speaks to, and that they really get something out of it, beyond just laughing. That's really fulfilling.

I have a lot of good stories for talk shows about the conditions in which I worked.

'Fresh Air' I listen to, like, every day.
