This is not the most right I've ever been.

He's 50 percent Peter Falk, 50 percent my own father.

Once in a while you get a moment of clarity -- an inspiration -- and they don't come that frequently.

It felt like such a right idea that it didn't bother me to put it away, because I knew it would be ready when it's ready, ... When I had kids, I realized I understood my parents better. I had more compassion for them and I look at my kids and realize, 'Oh, man. This is just the same cycle all over again.'

The Thing About My Folks.

It is not important to know what facts are true, ... The relationships portrayed are real. My mother did have a job interview with my father. She worked alongside him for awhile;, they dated, were married and had a family. She never did get to the World's Fair.

Peter Falk and my father are very much the same.
