My sophomore year I spent exactly one day on the JV football team. It was the tryout day.

One Christmas my father kept our tree up till March. He hated to see it go. I loved that.

Wheel of Fortune was an important SAT prep for me.

I have such respect for people who do non-fiction casting after settling on the grandparents we got for this. It is really hard to find people who are not fame-whores. We're lucky these people actually wanted to spend their time doing this. All of them would have much rather been cooking without the cameras, being with their families. That's why they're great characters.

It's interesting, because I tend to trust a man with big ears.

While some of my closest friends were jocks, it seemed that they spoke a different language with each other. Joining in their conversation was fraught with risk.

The most important thing is to write material that YOU think is funny. If you don't think it's funny, but you're convinced that other people will think it is, well they won't.
