Quotes
I really like the half-hour comedy. I really do. I know people that
are in movies all the time and they, you know, they don't see their
families as much. And that takes its toll over time. And I don't want
to be one of those families. I want to sleep in my own bed every night.
I want to, you know, help the kids with homework. And I like that.
That's fun.
