"The morning after I won my Emmy, I tried to explain to my three-year-old daughter, 'Mommy and Daddy got dressed up last night [and] went to a big party. They decided that Daddy was a really good writer. They gave me this award!' She looks up at me, tears in her eyes and she says, 'Are you ever going to make my breakfast?'

Because I'd like to be able to tell my other directors.' And I said, 'I don't know, David.' So I asked one of the actors, I said, 'What do I tell you that's different from the others?'
