I do not go to church. I don__ go to Christian church or Jew church or any other church. I don__ go to church at all. Not ever. A perfect Sunday for me is spent drinking green tea while reading the Sunday New York Times. Yikes! Why don__ I just turn in my Al-Qaeda membership form and call it a day? As if that wasn__ bad enough, not only do I not go to church:I don__ believe in God. How can I say the Pledge of Allegiance if I don__ believe in God? How can I spend our American currency which pledges __n God We Trust?_ How can I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, so help me God? Answer: I can__. It__ a real problem. Don__ get me wrong _ I__ like to believe in God. I wish I did, especially if He was the kind of God that thought America was #1. But I don__, which to many people is the same as not believing in America. Up until recently, I thought those people were lunatics.

I honestly believe you can never tell if a relationship is going to last. In my own marriage, which is going on 14 years, I don't think of it as 'I'm going to be with this person forever.' Instead, I think of more like, 'I'll probably be with this person for the next six weeks. Then I'll re-evaluate.'

The thing that I think is the most important is taking moments to express your appreciation to your partner. A thank you or a quick kiss can go a long way toward affirming your relationship and commitment to each other. That's not hard to do even when you're juggling insane careers and three kids.

I don't watch that much comedy. I think it's professional jealousy. That and a lack of support for my community.

All the work that I do, whether or not it ends up being commercially successful or not, feels like the most important thing to me while I'm doing it. I try to take something away from every project, and so they all feel like milestones for one reason or another.
