I was a single dad in New York City, raising a child and pursuing a career.

In low comedy, a character gets hit in the head, and you don't really believe it. In farce, he's hit in the head, but he must be hit in the head. The character requires it.

Many people mistakenly think of farce as broad low comedy. In fact, it's polished high comedy.

I was in the family court for 25 years. And having started a second career, having a second act when you were 52 was something that I never thought would happen to me.

Too many of the elderly do not have the family or the communal attachments necessary to feel valued; too many are widowed or otherwise alone; too many live in surroundings where they are essentially without the companionship necessary to stimulate a mind in danger of deteriorating.

It's about a father and daughter and the daughter's friend and her relationship with her current husband.

I sketch literally all the time; constructing a collection is like building a family - you have to have a certain balance. I isolate myself - I need to be concentrated for this so I leave Paris, I leave to a place without a phone.
