The Most Rewarding Part About Being A Dad Is Just Looking At Children Who Didn't Exist At Some Point. The First Time You Saw Them, They Were The Size Of A Quarter, In A Sonogram, And Now They Can Pour Orange Juice And Yell At Each Other.

From The Minute We're Born, Boys And Girls Stare At Each Other, Trying To Figure Out If They Like What They See. Like Parade Lines, Passing Each Other For Mutual Inspection. You March, You Look. You March, You Look. If You're Interested, You Stop And Talk, And If It Doesn't Work Out, You Just Get Back In The Parade. You Keep Marching, And You Keep Looking.

When I'm Writing For A Book, It's Much More Reflective Process. I Have Certain Things That May Not Translate Well To The Stage, But, When They're On The Page, People Can Really Get Into Them. My First Two Books Were Aiming To Be Funnier, But The Third Was More About Deep Exploration. Things About Being A Parent And Growing Older That I Thought Would Be Perfect For A Book.

I'm Not Smart Enough To Write About Something That Didn't Actually Happen To Me. But I Couldn't Write A Space Movie If You Put A Gun To My Head.
