I've seen a lot of the United States, having stayed in so many different cities and towns for work. It's such a strange and fascinating country, and instead of learning about it through a textbook, I would rather discover its history and traditions and institutions through fiction and nonfiction writers.

The network shows tend to be run, in general, in my experience, by committee, and it's hard for actors and writers to do their jobs.

I get to play a lot of hysterics.

I'm way too disorganized.

I would do 'American Splendor' and 'About Schmidt' again in a heartbeat.

When my dad needed a shirt ironed, he would yell downstairs to my mother, who would drop everything and iron his shirt.

I'm a New Yorker, and I rarely get to work at home.
