The ridiculousness and idiocy of life is embraced and examined. It nurtures the childhood perspective in everyone.

I think I grew up with the idea that God was a punishing being, constructed around rules.

It's difficult to parent one kid, let alone five! It's insane. It's this strange, overwhelming mess that I would not trade for anything. I think it's more difficult in New York City. It's not like we can hop in the minivan and go somewhere. I don't own a car. It's chaos anywhere. Being a parent is difficult. Being a son and a daughter is difficult. It's a human relationship.

I never went to church when I was in college, either.

I feel like, even in this crazy world of Trump getting elected and these things that really kind of caught me off-guard, I feel like I understand less than I did.

It's not as if ten years ago, we were like, 'I wish I could take low quality photos of my dessert.'

I need the concept of mercy for me to have some semblance of self-admiration. So in real life, I'm probably somebody who is more devout.
