My first love is acting, but the reality is that I just don't get too many opportunities to stretch, and grow, and inspire myself as an actor, certainly not in terms of where I make money. Yeah, I can go off and do a play, but the reality is as a profession, directing is exponentially more satisfying.

There's not a comedy actor who doesn't want a chance to do drama, and vice versa. As actors, we're always looking to be pushed and to do the other side of the coin.

Charlie Brown's good. I always had a little crush on that Lucy. I thought she was kind of a hot little brunette.

I like the fact that a modern television and modern drama on cable has characters that are really intricate and deep and have multiple layers.

The stage is a training ground and it's where you learn what's funny and what's successful.

To me, the punk rock kids I grew up with were really, really smart, and to me, respecting those kids was a really big deal.

If I could act in theater, my whole life, and never act in film or television again, and just direct the rest of my life, I would gladly do that.
