Nothing Would Make Me Happier If Peter

When I'm Writing For A Book, It's Much More Reflective Process. I Have Certain Things That May Not Translate Well To The Stage, But, When They're On The Page, People Can Really Get Into Them. My First Two Books Were Aiming To Be Funnier, But The Third Was More About Deep Exploration. Things About Being A Parent And Growing Older That I Thought Would Be Perfect For A Book.

The Biggest Thing I Remember Is That There Was Just No Transition. You Hit The Ground Diapering.

The Most Rewarding Part About Being A Dad Is Just Looking At Children Who Didn't Exist At Some Point. The First Time You Saw Them, They Were The Size Of A Quarter, In A Sonogram, And Now They Can Pour Orange Juice And Yell At Each Other.

When People Talk About Wanting To Have Children Someday, What They Really Mean Is That They Want Babies. Nobody Wants An Angry Adolescent. Nobody Wants An Obnoxious Seven-year-old Trying To Wear Out Dirty Words They Just Learned In School That Day. What They Really Want Is Cute, Adorable Babies Who Love You And Need You. The Bad Stuff Is Just The Price You Agree To Pay For Having The Good Stuff.

Once In A While You Get A Moment Of Clarity - An Inspiration - And They Don't Come That Frequently.
