“Face it, you have to be sort of an egomaniac to write something down and think that anyone is going to want to read it.”

“I went to Colby College in Waterville, ME and did picture it when I was writing 'Cum Laude.' So many of the physical details were included, like the loop where people jogged. The story of the chapel is also borrowed from Colby... but the students and cast of characters are fictional.”

“Recently my publicist asked me for a college photo, and I realize how chubby I looked. I know this sounds totally shallow, but my advice is don't fall prey to the freshmen fifteen!”

“Performing doesn't turn me on. It's an egomaniac business, filled with prima donnas - including this one.”

“My character is just an extension of who I am. I'm not so much of an egomaniac. I'm not so much of a narcissist.”

“I'm going to sound like an egomaniac, but I'm proud of so many things. I feel proud of my book, 'I'm Just A Person,' proud of my HBO special. I'm proud of a lot of things.”
