I got written out of 'G.I. Joe' and was like, 'Welp, I'm going to go back to what I do: writing and producing comedy.'
As with all commandments, gratitude is a description of a successful mode of living. The thankful heart opens our eyes to a multitude of blessings that continually surround us.
And that's my comfort--that someone else was there and experienced the same thing. How else could I know it was real and not merely a dream?

I want to thank all of the fans and media who made playing in the NFL such a wonderful experience. I have had the pleasure of meeting many of them.
You can easily see why the experience of Jews would be helpful if you're looking to get action on religious persecution.

The more you are getting older, you lose a little something. Of course there is another advantage, because of your long experience you can use it.
Short of baseball and my family, it was gaming. And gaming is a $20-million to $200-million multi-year effort. It's an insane, stupid and utterly irresponsible act. But I did it.

I'm proud to be part of the Dr. Pepper Scholarship Giveaway. It's a great program that gives me the chance to brighten the day for some lucky college students with free tuition.

I was a little different. I still say I'm a little different, because success to me is not having the most money, or having the biggest car or the biggest house.
