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

I don't really read children's books or deal with children's books, so I don't have any relationship with them other than my own.

I can be a snarky Asshole, or I can be sort of mentally impaired. It's very hard for me to just be normal human being.

My fear is if I expose myself, not so much that I'll be hurt, but that the reaction will be "Is that all there is? Is that the entirety of you? Because it's boring."

I think people just love to win.

As an actor, you can show up on a set and be on a TV show for three or four years, or whatever it is and, by the end of it, you just want to do something else.

When you're writing something, and you're putting yourself out there, or you're performing and someone comes in and savages that, then of course it feels personal. It doesn't feel like it's just business, because there's no business - it's not like we're conducting business, this anonymous critic and I. It's just that this person is tearing me a new asshole.
