I'm an older, wall-eyed, overweight, tweedy writer who has been lucky enough to be asked to play various iterations of himself in a certain realm of popular cultutre. That gives me great joy and excitement, but I don't go to the media saying, "And I'm also the world's greatest actor."

Hosting a TV show is a full-time job in which success is defined by it never ending.

The few people who ask to have their photographs with me, I almost always say yes, except for a few circumstances, like when my family is around.

I'm not a particularly religious person, but that feeling of getting transmissions from someplace else, even if it's from your own consciousness, is very, very real. To me, at least.

Well, I always had this desire to celebrate and somehow be a part of things that I thought were really great.

A stopped clock is correct twice a day, but a sundial can be used to stab someone, even at nighttime.

Just because you see an iceberg does not mean that there isn't global warming.
