I cringe a lot when I look at my early talk-show experiences.

I have an underdog spirit in me, and now it feels weird to kind of get my own way more often than not.

Is this a generation of orphans who are going to the improv to do stand-up?

What? I have a cold. Don’t get a look of terror on your face. The worst that could happen is that you’ll get a cold, too. You don’t have to theatrically Purell a thousand times a day and look all panicky every time I come into the room.

Growing up, I remember my parents feeling a little wary of 'The Simpsons.' This was the late eighties, and there was a wave of articles about TV shows that were bad for America. Then we all started watching it and loved it.

My mom always used to say, "You can't say I love you before you can say I." And I think that sort of makes sense.

I have never regretted erring on the side of withholding information.
