Sometimes, when you're not getting a whole lot of attention, you're actually walking the right path.

It's very important that your parents have careers of their own. When the kid becomes the breadwinner of the household, that's when you have problems.

Writing is still on my slate.

Fame will take care of itself. One thing I've learned about fame is that, hey, you can't control it. You don't know how you're going to be received or perceived when you step out of a car, when you arrive some place. And you never really know how big something is going to get, so you have to set some standards for yourself, and just abide by those.

You should never be afraid to be yourself, under any circumstances. The genre of cool is fleeting. What's cool today will not be cool a year from now. If you're yourself, you'll be at peace with yourself.

In L.A., the waiters think they're stars. Everybody's always trying to pretend that they see stars every day, so there tends to be a false blas' about celebrity sightings in L.A. In some ways, that's a good thing, because it allows you to walk around.

You have to be respectful of pop culture, because people interpret it in the way they want.

The conventions of an almighty agency tapping you for greatness and signing you up and telling you this is going to be the next big thing that has not been my career.

So, the advice that I would always give is make sure you've got your own career, before you put your child in the business.

What I've kind of learned about comedy is that when comedy gets too expensive it might not be funny. Sometimes it's good to keep the conditions where you're pressed for time and it's just about getting the work done, as opposed to how much things are we eating on the set.
