“Six seasons ago they didn’t even have the role of ‘Frank.’ They then asked me if I would join the show as the father of Dennis and Sweet Dee. I said I would only do it if the role felt organic to the show and if it was a character that I’d feel like I could really let my hair down, no pun intended, and allow myself to explore other avenues that were as raunchy or as ribald as I’ve done in the past, but with an FX kind of sensibility. I think they delivered on every front.”

“At the very beginning when we started nine seasons ago with the first couple of shows I was going to do, I loved the work, the writing, the guys, but I knew we had to keep pushing the envelope. After a few years, they really started taking me seriously too… I don’t ever say, ‘No, that’s too much.’ That’s part of the deal with It’s Always Sunny. (The writers) just work on digging the hole deeper and deeper. I have no idea what’s coming….I have no idea what they do in their private lives.”

“We do live in a racist country. We have to evolve and have to realize that truth and reconciliation is here, too—it’s not only in South Africa or Cambodia. Young people have to learn what happened in our history, and we need people to know that we’re walking on the boards of genocide. This is a place where people settled in and they came to be called Native Americans. Now all of a sudden these big ships appear out of the blue like demons in the daylight, and everything changed. Genocide happened and we’re all in it. But we can’t lean on that xenophobia. We need to understand what happened and realize that we’re all human beings who are cut from the same cloth….Listen to Noam Chomsky, get the Howard Zinn, and try to elevate your children, brothers, and sisters. There are a lot of things that we should be informing the younger generation about—as well as the older people in our lives who are stuck in the mud.”

“You know, he's a lustful guy. He wants to always have a girlfriend. I relate to that. I love women. I mean, I'm married, but I used to get in all kinds of trouble. I love the summertime, when all the girls wear the little skimpy clothes, even my daughters. I mean, I'm not gonna lust after my daughters. I'm just saying there are women and there are men in the world, so, you know, get over it. People are going to look.”
