I love America, and I love to say that my family is American.

I've always been fascinated by family ancestry.

Being an American is a state of mind, and to be in a family is to feel the power of belonging, the power of your roots. Family is a tree, the strength of a tree, the roots, the leaves, the past and the present, the future, the fruits, the seeds.

I'm endlessly fascinated with the ways families work and the ways they don't.

We hear a lot in this country about family, and 'American Family' just shows us a portrait we haven't seen as much of yet. 'American Family' lets us know that being American isn't about the color of your hair or eyes or skin: it's really a state of mind.

It's really important to recognize that family life in America has changed pretty dramatically.

I find the family the most mysterious and fascinating institution in the world.

I'm very much more interested in the created family than I am in actual families.

To me, families are fascinating. I choose to explore it through comedy and through comic situations.

What I do know is that I love the whole idea of family, even the word itself.
