When I was a kid, 'Land of the Lost' was my favorite show, just because it was - in the landscape of Saturday morning cartoons - it was so unique. It was a live-action show and kids were in it, these creatures, these Sleestaks and dinosaurs. Every week was a different adventure. I couldn't wait. I loved it so much.
That's what you love about the stories, he just gets into all this mischief and goes into all the places that every kid wants to do and, I think, even a lot of adults do as well.
I've always loved watching the news on TV. As a kid, I loved watching Walter Cronkite, for some reason.

My dad turned me onto Peter Sellers as a kid. I loved the fact that he was a unique combination of being extremely subtle and over-the-top all at the same time, and that's a hard thing to do. I admire that.
In junior high P.E., I was way too shy to take a shower in front of the other kids. It was a horribly awkward time - body hair, odors... So I'd go from my sweaty shirt back into my regular clothes and have to continue the day.
I remember going with my mom to a random garage sale as a kid and thinking what a cool treasure hunt that whole world was. Only to transition as an adult to think, 'What a gross place that really is.'
Since I was eight years old, I went to Trinity. I mean, I listened to Reverend Wright since I was a kid and I always heard him preach sermons of love and inspiration.
I was a strange kid in that, while most kids hate school and want to turn 18 or 21, I loved high school.
Enjoy the little fun things - like taking your kids to school - before they're all grown up.
We want to provide the kids with an opportunity to play against the state's best. It gives the kids a chance to get better and it gives them a chance to get seen by some of the college coaches.
You always want to do a good job and hopefully, I won't be in something that looks and feels like I'm in over my head.
Whom does the prime minister prefer? Tinky Winkey, Dipsy, Po, or La-La?
I'd love to become like Bill Murray, who was so funny on Saturday Night Live and has gone on to do some of the landmark comedies people like. And then to add this whole other phase to his career with Lost in Translation and Rushmore. I always felt to be able to have something similar to that would be great.
