I don't think of marriage as the drudge work that a lot of sitcoms and movies might have shown it to be, I think it's more deadly murderous rage, unadulterated passion, soul-crushing purgatorial dread... It's more interesting.

I was an extroverted kid and performed, like, acting and singing. Then, the older I got, I realized I enjoyed performing things that I came up with myself more and I enjoyed making people laugh more than making people cry or think.

Depression taught me the importance of compassion and hard work, and that you can overcome enormous obstacles.

It's a good idea to have a break, to let your mind rest and so you can start to cultivate ideas.

In high school, I definitely fancied myself an intense guy, which is so lame.

In real life, I am alarmingly boring.

I'm crazy about Shakespeare, who was a notorious word inventor. And my wife is an English teacher, and she's hilarious.
