As I got older, I got into all kinds of things in the streets - but for some reason, I never got caught up with the gangs growing up. Everybody dug me, man. I never had problems.

I'm not a star, and I don't want to be a star. Stars fall. I'm an ordinary guy with an extraordinary job.

I'm an ordinary guy with an extraordinary job.

When I get a chance to play golf or go on a boat with good people, take the boat out and put some lobsters on the grill, get the ice-cold beer and the cigars - that's heaven here on earth.

God has a most wicked sense of humor.

I never think of a project as just being comedy or just being drama - even with 'Masters of Sex.' I like being sort of messy, like life is.

As an undergrad, I was the editor of the Yale humor magazine, and since then, I've published humor in the 'New York Times' and 'Atlantic,' among other places.

I do more comedy, actually. I don't do the classic novelas.
