I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.

Determination energy and courage appear spontaneously when we care deeply about something. We take risks that are unimaginable in any other context.

I have a 6-year-old and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I'm really working on him about that.

I think Islam has been hijacked by the idea that all Muslims are terrorists that Islam is about hate about war about jihad - I think that hijacks the spirituality and beauty that exists within Islam.
