I feel like if I'm going to give you a book about my dad, then I really want to give you my dad, because he is interesting and he is funny and if you're buying a book about him, I don't want you to have to sit through stuff that's not him.

Great dad. Yeah, he would ask me for money on birthdays and, you know, inappropriate times. And I just wrote him off like, 'You're not a father.' I just learned you cannot emotionally invest in people who are not attainable.

Every year, I give my dad an advance copy of my latest book. He reads it over the next several nights and says something incredibly supportive. Then he clears his throat nervously and changes the subject.

My dad is often horrified by what I've spent my money on.

I really try my best not to get attached to a script, because I know what it takes: It takes you away from your family and what you like to do.

I remember my dad working with me on breaking down my script and writing out a back story for my character and all that stuff.

My dad just imprinted in my mind from a very young age that you always do what you say you're gonna do when you say you're gonna do it.

The script for 'In Good Company' was the first one I ever showed my dad.

When I sold my first business, I wanted to do something nice for my dad. I wanted to give my parents a bunch of money, but they wouldn't take anything from me. They were so happy for me; they felt they didn't need money.
