Oftentimes, when people don't respond to text messages or emails, I just start writing long, long in-depth essays and diatribes where characters start to appear and narrative threads begin.

I'm certainly not a trained singer. The only place I could probably carry a tune is my shower.

Working on 'Raising Hope' is a very hurry-up-and-wait activity, and I just always liked the idea of being as productive as I can be. I write because I don't just want that time to dissolve, where I'm sitting in a trailer staring blankly at the paintings of moccasins that came with the trailer.

Yes, I want kids. I don't know that I'll ever be ready. But, I'll certainly want them. I'll have them regardless of whether I am ready, I think. I just don't have a timeframe on it yet.

It's ridiculous. My life's been a series of happy accidents.

I think that's part of the fun of being an actor - you get to not be normal all of the time.

I like the idea of building this wandering, epic narrative in a form that people don't expect epic narratives to appear.
