When I was in high school, I was really into string theory and superstring theory and read 'Scientific American.' It's fascinating.

I can't give a decent toast to save my life.

I'll watch CNN in the mornings to catch up on what's going on. On the weekends, I get the Sunday edition of 'The New York Times.'

Peter Dinklage is one of my oldest friends from New York!

Being a father is just wonderful.

In high school, I played in a Rush cover band.

There's also the tradition of voodoo, the Haitian magic arts, in New Orleans. And because New Orleans is below sea level, when they bury people in New Orleans, it's mostly above ground. So you have this idea that the spirits are more accessible and can access you more easily because they're not even buried.
