Denzel Washington has a great sense of humor. He did all those 'Nutty Professor' movies.

There have to be people who are vocal about the advancement of knowledge over faith.

I hate people who say 'Just to play devil's advocate.'

I think at times I read too much of my own press. I wish I was better at taking in how great my life is, but that's surprisingly elusive. I tend to be very hard on myself and insecure about failing no matter what happens.

At one point, I was hell-bent on being a Disney animator, and sort of got over that in college and wanted to do my own stuff. You know, towards the end of college I had actually planned to go to the Boston Conservatory of Music for musical theater.

The trend today is vampires, zombies, angels, all the stuff that puts me right to sleep. It's too bad because it's so much less interesting than the diversity of stories you can tell with science.

I was about two years old when I first started drawing recognizable characters.
