I remember asking my dad, "Why didn't you ever move to the States? You probably could have made a lot more money." My dad said, "Because I have an obligation to give back." I always admired him for that.

Yeah, you know, within the context of TV families, these are pretty unsavory characters.

Because I think a lot of people felt like, ultimately - and this isn't the first time I've said this, so I'll bore you again with it - but ultimately it was... I think it felt like homework a bit for people.

Everything's not black and white. We choose to make bad decisions or not. I wanted to explore that and shine a light on it. Chip is trying to be a better person and lead a better life. His methods are just super flawed.

When it sort of finally sets in that you're not going to be doing that anymore... it's disappointing.

If you have a character that doesn't have anything wrong with him, there's nothing funny about it.

Arrested Development opened a lot of doors for me.
