I got offered to do Ben 10. Sue Blu was the [voice] director of that, and I had worked with her - I think she was on Transformers as well. And she was so great.

I like being a villain. Villains are more exciting.

It's very easy to confuse Sean Connery with James Bond. Sometimes in the entertainment industry, people believe the cake is more real than the baker.

My Brat Pack buddies and I didn't exactly handle celebrity very well. Success at an early age is far more difficult to handle than failure.

I hate the iPhone. I love the BlackBerry - BlackBerry wins in my opinion. The iPhone is a toy.

Perhaps we've invented conspiracies for our own psychic well-being, to heal ourselves.

I was a 'learn by doing' writer - I never took any formal writing classes. So it took a long time to figure things out and find my voice.

Love is forgiving and Love is for giving.
