I'm someone who loves romance. I always have loved it. Most people who grew up as nerds, as I was, surprisingly, have loved romance.

I'm a smart enough person to know that I don't want everyone to be cookie-cutter versions of the nine guys who wear Converse sneakers.

My parents were supportive of my creativity but did not have a lot of patience for whimsy with zero production value. They had stuff to do.

It makes me cry because it means that fewer and fewer people are believing it's cool to want what I want, which is to be married and have kids and love each other in a monogamous, long-lasting relationship.

People who are good at stand-up, they sort of seem to have to do it. Something within them makes them have to go on the road.

I say if you love something, set it in a small cage and pester and smother it with love until it either loves you back or dies.

I'm not into red carpet looks where it's clear the woman wanted to look like a pretty, pretty princess.
