If I called my kids a moron, I think it would traumatize them. I don't think they even know what the word is.

I always say that even though my dad was alive during Woodstock, he was just not invited. He just seemed like he was from a different generation.

For me, every show that's about teachers - and there's been a number of them - they're like misfits who hate the kids and don't want to be there and hate their jobs. For me, having crazy parents, my teachers were the sane people who raised me, and they liked being there.

I like being surrounded by all the stuff that makes me feel creative and inspires me.

I'm obsessed with musicals.

When I was nine, I got my head stuck in a bucket trying to be Darth Vader.

When you hire directors, you're most concerned about whether or not someone from the outside will get the jokes.

I was so obsessed with 'The Princess Bride.' I loved it so much that I even have a re-enactment I did of a radio play of the iocane powder scene.

I ended up going to NYU for film school - close to Pennsylvania - but we talked about what if I went to UCLA or USC, and my mom's whole world was caving in.

Negative attention was better than no attention.

Being from Philadelphia, 'Parents Just Don't Understand' was a big deal - I have audio of my brother and me singing that song.

Singing karaoke is my worst nightmare. But in the car, I rock out to anything Bon Jovi or Beastie Boys.
