I don't think I will do a Mafia character again. I want to get away from the violence a little bit, because it is starting to bother me personally.

What they say about TV shows is true. You're really a family. You laugh, you fight, you get close, you know? Movies are shorter. They're over quicker. You don't form the same bonds.

I love hearing people laugh.

I want nothing to do with privilege.

You know, all writers are vampires and they'll look around and they watch you when you're not even thinking they're watching you and they'll slip stuff in.

I dabbled a little bit in acting in high school and then I forgot about it completely. And then at about twenty-five I went to a class. I don't think anybody in my family thought it was an intelligent choice. I don't think anybody thought I'd succeed, which is understandable. I think they were just happy that I was doing something.

Putting somebody else's pants on and pretending to be somebody else is occasionally, as you grow older, horrifying.
