Writing Has Made Me A Better Actor.

Being In Tv Is Insane. The Notes You Get Sometimes, I Just Don't Understand Them.

When I Was Growing Up, My Parents Asked Me What I Wanted To Do, And I Said That I Wanted To Live In Springfield. They Were Like, "well, That's Not How It Works. There Is An Actor Who Play Homer, And Someone Who Writes What Homer Says." So, I Was Like, "well, I Want To Write What Homer Says."

Sometimes What Happens I Think Is That Actors Finish A Movie And They Go, Oh My God, I'm Never Going To Work Again, Even Big Huge Actors, And So They'll Take Something Thinking That Something Else Will Never Come Along. But For Me, I Freak Out - Because I'm A Bit Of A Workaholic - The Second I Finish A Movie Going Oh My God, What Am I Going To Do, But I Can Start Writing The Next Day So It Doesn't Force Me To Make A Bad Choice Acting-wise.

When You Go Out To Make Something, You Want It To Be Great. You Need To Put A Bubble Around That, So No One Can Get Into The Force Field And Change What You're Setting Out To Make. That's All Us Being Producers Is Doing, Is Allowing Our Power To Protect The Integrity Of What You're Doing.

I'm A Lifelong Simpsons Fanatic And I Wanted To Create My Own Animated Show, One Day.
