I wasn't Santa in Santa Jr., but I was Santa in Cancel Christmas.

I still think Brooke Shields is aces. She's really smart, interesting, doesn't feel that her time is more valuable than anyone else's. Really hardworking. And I knew that if she was the star of the show, it's going to be a good experience. And it was.

Part of the reason I thought that I might do a series is, my dad has pretty much been on the same road to work for years and years. And it's like, "Could I do something like that? Am I so independent that I can't punch the clock at the same place?" So part of it was a kind of exercise. "Can I be responsible in this way?" And lo and behold, I could. Luckily. It'd be bad if I couldn't.

With failure, you just try again.

I find it very difficult to relax. I find it increasingly difficult to find outlets for my frustration.

Death is not my best subject.

I like Chicago. It's a great city. It's always fun to revisit it.
