I feel the only way I'm going to be successful in moving on is if I keep a separation.

I take having a kids' show real seriously. I think it's an enormous responsibility.

When I was about five my dad built a stage for me in our basement. A full stage, with a curtain, a backdrop and a dressing room. There were three colored spotlights - a red one, a white one, and a blue one. Blue was for nighttime scenes, and red was for when we were in hell. If the neighborhood kids wanted to use the stage, they had to incorporate me into the play.

I'm the person with the final say on everything. I really love being in that position.

I don't think Bruce Willis can compete with me. I have a much better voice.

I usually go in ahead of time, like at a rehearsal, or a meeting, and tell them, "It may appear that I'm going to go haywire, but I'm not." I always map out what I'm going to do. Still, a lot of it is improvised.

I don't really want to direct myself, but I'm certainly torn in that direction.
