“Really, there are two types of people who go bowling. There are people who really, really love bowling. Then there are the people that are like: wouldn’t it be hysterical if we went bowling?”

I've been outed as a Christian.

I'm closer to Bob Newhart than Rodney Dangerfield.

The reason I say I'm a horrible person is I don't want myself to be presented as somebody who's a great Catholic.

There are some people who know who I am but there are a lot of people that have no idea who I am - which is not to say that that's a bad thing.

Who was the first person to walk into a harbor and say, "Whatever that horrible smell is I want to eat it"

I definitely write about things that are universal, that everyone can identify with. You're supposed to write about things you're passionate about and I guess I am a foodie. I do love food and it's kind of like I'm an eccentric observationalist guy. To make it kind of universal, I try a lot of different things. When I first started writing this, I was like, 'No food.' Then, you know, it just always goes there.
