Somebody would think I was trying to get favored treatment because my ancestors had the name Moon. And that's a joke.
Your kids require you most of all to love them for who they are, not to spend your whole time trying to correct them.
Video games are engineered now, but the step I am trying to take, no one can engineer.
I try and write satire that's well-intentioned. But those intentions have to be hidden. It can't be completely clear, and that's what makes it comedy.
If you are sad don't try to influence an environment but if you are happy attempt everyone you can reach.
It'd be really nice to wake up looking like, I don't know, Jake Gyllenhaal and think, 'Let's try this on for a day and see how it feels.'

I'm trying to embrace social media because it gives artists a little more power than we've had in the past.
I'm trying to make sure that there's comedy as well as sadness. It makes the sadness more memorable.
