Part of what's exciting to me about my career is the constant looking forward. Whenever I finish one project, I am looking to what's next.

It's such a deliberate thing to sit down and write a tweet. You're putting yourself out there in a very deliberate way, and over however many tweets, you start to create a character for yourself.

You can't write a children's book that takes more than five or six minutes to read, because it will drive the parents batty. It has to be compact. Nobody thinks about the parents when they write these stupid books. I could write longer children's books, but it would actually be bad if I did.

The things I care about are the most pedestrian things in the world. I care about good ice cream and being a good dad and a decent husband.

I think people hate me pretty much across the board, which is nice.
