I used to need the character but as I've gotten older I need it less and less - I prefer to play some version of myself. To approach any acting job as me just being me.

Whatever I write I publish. Because that's where the money is.

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.

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.

I'll never admit that I'm an actor, because the next horrible follow-up question is always, "Oh, what have I seen you in?"

If I revise a children's book, if I'm spending three hours on the first draft, I'm probably spending 30 minutes revising it. I mean, come on! But to redo a painting? That's hard work.

Hosting a show, even a talk show or a game show, there's so much business you have to conduct. There's so much guiding you have to do.
