I think some of the best actors ever were little kids.

I was a sort of serious little dude - snobby.

That's what Neil had to be and I didn't see myself that way and I didn't think anyone else did, so I'll be forever indebted to Gregg for seeing it and choosing me.

That is very different from how it used to be in the 20th century. Media was very one way. There's a small little industry. It broadcasted its message and everyone else in the world just had to listen. Now the internet is allowing what used to be a monologue to become a dialogue. I think that's healthy and actually restoring a more natural way.

I think the dual existence thing is a regular pastime for all human beings, and for that matter anything in this universe.

My last book, 'The Language of Flowers,' I wrote completely on naptime, when my little kids were asleep.
