There's a lot of magic in science, so to speak.

When I was born there were still different drinking fountains you had to drink out of.

When you work in television you're in the writer's room all the time. You can't take 10 days or a week to go watch movies. Nobody's going to sign up for that. But it's something I had always thought if I was every asked I would definitely do it if I had the time to do it.

I don’t want to slam somebody else’s religion. I mean as a Catholic, we’re basically cannibals: We eat Jesus every Sunday, you know? So who am I to say your religion is creepy?

Even though you're in charge you're not completely in ownership. You know, the audience takes a huge ownership of your show.

I don't care if my opinion falls on the right or the left. I'm more of what I call a passionate centrist. I just believe what I believe. I'm not trying to prove anything for the right or the left. Which gives me freedom to make jokes about either side, too.

I like to get things going. I get so many different ideas, whether it's film, TV, whatever.
