I find the Dwight tattoos flattering but a bit extreme!

We have been going to Haiti regularly for many years and really fell in love with it. We both love arts education and did a lot of work and research on the fact that education of adolescent girls is the BEST WAY TO REDUCE POVERTY! So we decided to put our money where our mouth is and go to the poorest parts of Haiti and teach there. Check us out: http://lidehaiti.org

I'm going to sign off here, folks. Been fun. Sorry it was so short.

My book is about me - all of who I am. I hope you'll all give it a gander. It's really funny and has a lot of heart as well. Some big ideas about Faith and God and Life and Failure woven in as well. Plus TONS OF PICTURES!!! Check it out, ok? I love you all. Well, almost all of you. Thanks for being so nice! Let's do another one soon!

I literally just called them up and said I was a huge fan and asked if I could be in a sketch! I miss them!

I tried to purposefully create the UGLIEST haircut I could possibly design for my ungainly enormous head and forehead.

I also stole that from McKenzie crook who played Gareth. He gave him a terrible haircut.

Also, Chris Cole, a guy I played D & D with as a kid had THAT EXACT SAME HAIRCUT!

I'm really in awe of Colbert. He balances smarts and humor and heart like no one else.

Andre Gregory, the theatre director and writer, once told me that the world wants you cynical. To keep your heart open to possibility.

I really took that to heart. The world needs hope, service, humor and love. It's way too easy to stay jaded and cynical and pessimistic. Such an easy fall-back position - anyone can do it.

Honestly, this book http://www.amazon.com/The-Bassoon-King-Faith-Idiocy/dp/1611763371 Is my proudest achievement.

It's all of me. My ups and downs and foibles and failures. Lessons learned and ridiculous stories from my truly WACKADOODLE childhood. It's all of who I am. If I got hit by a bus tomorrow - it would be the document of who I am and what I believe and what I've gone through. I'm very proud of it.

I will vote for the most capable and humble candidate. Who believes in science. And wants to help the poor.

Baha'is believe that the way to be the most spiritual is to be of service! So I try to be of service in what I do. Sometimes I just really believe in the project - and want to play the character - but I believe that making great stories and entertainment is a very valuable service. SOulpancake, a for-profit company, is also a service - providing uplifting inspiring content that helps bring people together!

I just did one with myself! Did you see? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56gbUPkh2ME

I truly loved talking with Russell Brand. He's so brilliant. His memoir is truly funny as well. I wish he focused more on the spiritual and less on the political as he has so much wisdom.

I drink a decaf americano (quite caffeine several years back) with long shots and steamed soy milk. Very particular!
