He had a really great energy and really expressive face. He just had a lot of natural expression in him.

He looked honestly just too cool. He just had way too much swagger to play [Chris].

We were just trying to cast a great kid that kind of embodied the idea of the character. A young kid who kind of felt put upon, who wasn't too cocky and who was a little unsure of himself.

We're finding these little things that turn into something. He's going to go to school, he's going to meet people, he's going to run into problems, Dad's going to try to pay the bills, Mom's going to try to get along, keep these kids on the straight and narrow. That's pretty much the show.

Usually, funny people aren't in charge of comedy. Comedy has become commerce. They're just trying to duplicate a thing that they can sell. That's the business. I'm not mad at that. You know, cookie companies do the same thing. But all the cookies aren't good cookies. Mrs. Fields is better than a lot of them.

It's Chris Rock. He separates our show from all the other shows that use that device.
