Cars and cameras are the two things I let myself be materialistic about. I don't care about other stuff.

People get successful and they start saying, 'Well of course I am! I was chosen! I'm special!' No, you're not.

There’s a need to perfect things in a writers’ room, and that can take a lot of fun out of a show sometimes. It’s a struggle. It depends on your personality. Some people love working with a writing staff. I had a great writing staff on Lucky Louie, but it sometimes felt like Congress or something.

I don't have a room full of writers pitching ideas. It's just me out of my head.

I have a lot of beliefs... and I live by none of them...

Well, I think “likability” is an overused word. I don’t watch people 'cause I like them; I watch them because they’re compelling. Sympathetic is a little different... Likable just thins you out. Working to make a character likable is what kills most TV shows.

I get mad like anybody else does, but being able to laugh about getting mad is very healthy, and my kids know that.
