During my career as a standup and actor, I realized it was very frustrating for me to get hired because Hollywood was hiring a different kind of brother, you know, and I was doing political humor... In order for me to really have a long career, I'm going to have to learn how to write and produce for myself... I had no idea I was really going to like it and I'm very fortunate to be successful. But the idea was to always eventually create something for myself. That was the idea from the beginning when I went into writing and producing.

When I was a kid, I was very much interested in magic and science. They fueled interest in one another.

It was tough when people would say, "Aren't you so excited?" about the new show and I couldn't really say, "Yes, well, I'm going through a divorce right now, too."

You go, dark energy! Go on, dark matter. They don't understand you, dark matter. They don't get you.

I love writing family stories.

Science was the known and then people would place God in the unknown, like God explained the unknown.

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