It's Not Easy To Tell A Story

When I Was A Kid, I Was Obsessed With This Idea Of Opening A Restaurant Back In Indiana On A Little Pond.

There's Times When I'll See A Show, Or Something Cooking On Tv, And Think, "that Can Really Be Fun When It's Working." But It's A Grind. I Did That At Nbc, It Was Five Days A Week. I Was Doing Talk Soup And Later At The Same Time. It's A Hard Job, More Difficult Than People Realize.

I'm A Terrible Procrastinator. When We Go To The Airport, If They're Not Literally Closing The Door Behind My Sweaty, Hyperventilating Body, I Feel I've Been There Too Long.
