Personal Quote:

My wife tends to challenge me when I'm working on the female roles. She beats up on me about making sure they have the proper amount of depth and not just be there to serve the men. Obviously my wife makes me laugh a lot but she doesn't see herself as a funny person. In fact, she gets mad at me if I say "How do we make this funny?" She just wants to make it real. See more »
