I would like to say that I am a very relaxed, loving person who is not competitive, but that's a lie!

We make them [kids] earn the stuff they want. They're not going to play with their iPad today unless they do their chores.

Baltimore is a great place.

At restaurants, I carry paper and markers and tell everyone to draw a picture with a unicorn, an octopus and an explosion. That keeps kids still for a minute.

I read books more than I go out.

I guess I'm not that aware of such a big fan base. I have a few core people who write me no matter what I'm doing, but I hardly have sacks of mail being dropped on my door!

I think it's pretty common for people to get excited when they meet somebody that they know from the media.
