I feel no obligation to teach my readers anything, to impart any sort of wisdom, to teach any sort of lesson, to instill any sort of morality. All I'm trying to do is make them and their parents laugh.

That's been my fear all along. That I'm not enough, and I still don't trust at all that I am.

My process is surprisingly straightforward. I find myself with little to do over a stretch of time and I say, "I should write children's books today." Then I sit down and write a children's book, and if it takes more than, realistically, three hours, I feel like I've done something wrong.

I don't necessarily self-identify as a writer, 'cause it implies a certain level of intelligence.

I take my coffee like I take my women... strong... black... and proud.

Super excited about things I'm going to do; never excited about things I'm actually doing.

I thought I'd be living a much more bohemian life and be very poor. I never thought I'd do comedy or be married living in the suburbs. Every time I try to plan my life out it just doesn't come to pass, and I think that's a great experience.
