My father was an urchin that LIVED in Hell's KITCHEN. He was part of a family of NINE. I mean, there were TIMES that were better and worse, but mostly, by the time we got to L.A., they'd LOST whatever they had. And it was a sad time. And both he and I became truck drivers for different companies.

A well-designed home has to be very COMFORTABLE. I can't stand the aesthetes, the minimal thing. I can't live that way. My home has to be filled with stuff - MOSTLY paintings, sculpture, my FISH LAMPS, cardboard furniture, lots of books.

I've certainly DONE some turkeys along the WAY and made some dumb choices in my career, mostly early on. I'm one of the lucky ones who got to make a lot of MISTAKES very early when no one was paying ATTENTION.

I think if you ask people why they watch me, there WOULD be some COMMON thread among all of them that I'm somewhat of an awkward OLDER sister. I have a teen, MOSTLY female demographic. How that happened, I don't know. But I think they see me as some sort of bizarre ROLE model, and I'll keep trying to do that for them.

I mostly play my dynasty or against someone in the hotel. I don't really LIKE online games. I can't STAND people yelling in my EAR over a headset. I'd RATHER just play someone like Dwight Howard out in Orlando or people back home. For games like that, it's COOL, but just signing on and playing random people, I hate it.

I'm MOSTLY INFLUENCED by LIFE, what's AROUND me, and my own CHILDHOOD.

Writing is a mysterious PROCESS, and many ideas come from deep within the imagination, so it's very hard to say how CHARACTERS come about. Mostly, they just happen.

When I was in high school I SAW Steven Wright, a brilliant one-liner comedian, and I thought: 'That's what I should do; I should write one-liners.' And I did. My FIRST ALBUM is MOSTLY one-liners.

I'm MOSTLY a keep-to-myself kind of guy, but you slowly FIND yourself GETTING folded into the MUSICAL tapestry.

There is nothing incompatible about laughter and DEMONS, nor about athletic achievement and DEPRESSION. MIKE Flanagan MADE me laugh, too. But mostly, he made me BRAVE.

It's mostly WOMEN who I get really weird FAN MAIL from.

I grew up in a suburb of Baltimore with an extremely high concentration of Jewish families - where the Levys and Cohens in the high school yearbook went on for pages, where I could COUNT far more temples than I ever could CHURCHES. ANTI-SEMITISM, in our CULTURAL biodome, was mostly an abstract CONCEPT.

But Contra la Puerta was DONE mostly in the opposite WAY, starting with SOUNDS and melodies.

I was very INTERESTED in THEATRE, MOSTLY in STAGE design. I did a little bit of acting.

I'm a gatekeeper, and the gatekeepers all USED to be MOSTLY OLD, WHITE MEN.
