I made a comfortable living for several years. I invested, and I protected myself, so I enjoy that freedom.

I'm not so proud to think that anything is unworthy, and I don't think I was that way 10 years ago.

I did a series called Ned and Stacey for two years for Fox back in the 90s. I was writer on it as well as a producer, and it was very important to me that there were no contemporary references.

One state retiree, 49 years old, paid, over the course of his entire career, a total of $124,000 towards his retirement pension and health benefits.

I've been doing theatre since I was 5 years old.
