Why do I want to be challenged or have challenges? That's why I don't go climb mountains.

Parents have got to chill out. Let your kid eat dirt - they're gonna be fine!

My kids have played soccer and baseball and basketball, and the parents who come to games are always saying and doing things that are just wildly inappropriate.

As an individual doing a podcast, you don't get even remotely rich. It's not something to do for money.

I felt very comfortable about myself when I was much heavier. I feel much better about myself from being fit.

There's only one true superpower amongst human beings, and that is being funny. People treat you differently if you can make them laugh.

I like raconteurs; I like conversation. I liked the 'Tonight Show' when it was 90 minutes, I like when people aren't plugging things per se, and they're just in the moment being interesting.

Acting's fine if the script's written by Paddy Chayefsky and Martin Scorsese directs it, but unless you have something like that, I don't really enjoy acting.

I'm a freak for great movies. I love movies.

I do love directing. It's probably my favorite thing that I do.

I'm from Chicago and it's a huge influence on me.

First off, I don't do self-deprecation comedy based on being fat. I would always talk about it honestly. Secondly, I don't care how much I weigh.
