Children are very smart, in their own stupid way. A child's brain is like a sponge, and you know how smart sponges are.
Steve CarellI don't think something necessarily has to be mean or cynical to represent 'edgy.' I think 'edgy' can mean a lot of different things.
Steve CarellMy parents had a certain resolve to them that I donโt see as so prevalent today. Through good times and bad, they were committed to one another. Their relationship wasnโt something to be constantly examined or picked apart.
Steve CarellThat's an interesting way to put it: an expectation of who you should be. More often than not, it's described as an expectation of who you are.
Steve CarellWell, on a personal level, I would never want to take on a character who didnโt have some redeemable qualities.

Steve CarellI enjoy having breakfast in bed. I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me. And since I don't have a butler, I have to do it myself. So, most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill. I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon. It is delicious, it's good for me, it's the perfect way to start the day.
