I Don't Think I Was Awake For Much Of My Childhood. I Did A Lot Of Napping. This Might Have Been A Defensive Measure Against Encroaching Depression. Until About The Age Of Eleven Or Twelve, I Had Zero Interests Other Than Trying To Steal Gumballs From Supermarket Gumball Machines.

I Can Be A Snarky Asshole, Or I Can Be Sort Of Mentally Impaired. It's Very Hard For Me To Just Be Normal Human Being.

The Things I Care About Are The Most Pedestrian Things In The World. I Care About Good Ice Cream And Being A Good Dad And A Decent Husband.

As A Game-show Host, What I'm Thinking And What I'm Experiencing Doesn't Matter. My Opinion Doesn't Matter. So There's A Flattened Reality To It. It's Fun To Do. But It's Certainly Not Myself In Totality - Or Even Maybe A Little Bit.

My Process Is Surprisingly Straightforward. I Find Myself With Little To Do Over A Stretch Of Time And I Say, "i Should Write Children's Books Today." Then I Sit Down And Write A Children's Book, And If It Takes More Than, Realistically, Three Hours, I Feel Like I've Done Something Wrong.
