I spent my entire childhood in the same town, in Kent. I went to grade school there. There was a boarding school that my mother taught at, called - appropriately enough - Kent School, that I went to. Yeah, pretty much my entire childhood was spent in that town.

I'll tell you what I think is not okay. Have you ever seen that show on MSNBC, 'Lockup?' It's a reality show that takes place inside a prison. Do the prisoners have to sign release forms? Or do they have to be on it whether they like it or not?

I think at times I read too much of my own press. I wish I was better at taking in how great my life is, but that's surprisingly elusive. I tend to be very hard on myself and insecure about failing no matter what happens.

I'm wide open to getting married, but actors are not easy people to date. You end up sharing that person with this other mistress that is their career. I very much like the traditional courtship method of making a date. That's what they do in normal places, but Hollywood's not normal.

Don’t go snackin’ if you been tobaccin’.

Believe it or not, I have about the same success rate as anyone else. Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss.

You would not want me on your football team.

I'm bad at golf.

The worst thing to happen at the Oscars would be if nothing happened. You want something unscripted, something to riff on, something kinda out there.

I'm big on the importance of science, particularly right now at this point in time when there's sort of a systematic rejection of science by a lot of people in America.

'American Dad' is, by its nature, much more political.

The good thing about Broadway is that you don't have to worry about an airdate. It gets done when it gets done.

The success of 'The Simpsons' really opened doors. It showed that if you were working in animation you didn't necessarily have to be working in kids' television.

With any half-hour comedy, it kind of takes on its own life and finds itself.

Some of those more out-there jokes were written in the wee hours of the morning. Somehow, they remained funny the next day.

Chris Elliott could read the phonebook and he's funny.

I wrote on a show called Johnny Bravo when I was at Hanna-Barbera.

The quest for Tommy Lee Jones' laugh begins now.

I can't believe I am hosting the Oscars. It's an honor everyone else said no.

Denzel Washington has a great sense of humor. He did all those 'Nutty Professor' movies.

There have to be people who are vocal about the advancement of knowledge over faith.

I was a big Fred Flintstone fan.

I still do a lot of drawing on a daily basis.

I cannot tell good art from bad art. I have no eye for it.
