I like to keep my private stuff pretty vague.

I've been an admirer of Helen Mirren for a long time. As I get older, I find myself admiring older women who have poise and elegance.

I love going to the feed store and drinking coffee and talking about how much rain we need.

Nothing is set up like a comedy bit. I did sitcoms for 10 years. Literally from 1989 to 1999. That's almost all I did. Whenever I got away from television I was like, "Phew, thank God that's over. I am never going back."

And there have certainly been movies I wanted to be in and milestones I wanted to surpass that did not happen.

As an actor I kind of do. I started out doing voice overs in the mid 80s when I was in grad school.

I did a series called Ned and Stacey for two years for Fox back in the 90s. I was writer on it as well as a producer, and it was very important to me that there were no contemporary references.
