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

I'm trying to teach my children not to cry. That's the big thing. No crying. Because I think we can all agree that crying is, for the most part, for sissies. If my team loses, I'm going to cry. And I'm going to want my kids to see me crying. Not because I think sports are so important, but because I bet so much money on the game that we'll probably lose the house if my team doesn't win. That's something to cry about.

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

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

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.

Your harshest critic is always going to be yourself. Don't ignore that critic, but don't give it more attention than it deserves.
