## Transcript

I'm looking forward to in 2011, great art produced by the world but especially Americans because our government supports the arts. I'm looking forward to peace, peace in the world. And I'm looking forward to Americans coming to their senses in a lot of respects. I think we've lost our way considerably. That's what I'm looking forward to. My least favorite pop culture item in 2010 and I'm sure it will continue in 2011 is reality TV shows, Bama Bells, Jersey Shore, Housewives of Beverly Hills, New Jersey, New York, Atlanta. I really don't wanna know about those trashy lives. And can I also add Sarah Palin to the mix?

That's my really least favorite pop culture item in 2010. I wish could have a recurring role on Modern Family. I think Modern Family is the best comedy on television. It's extremely well- written, extremely well- acted and directed. And you wanna be-- I wanna be involved with really quality productions like that whether it's television or the stage. And I'd wish that I, not could've written, but been a part of the research process of A Reliable Wife. The book A Reliable Wife is a part of-- a slice of American history. He takes a part of American history and tells a story about the purchase of a wife by a Wisconsin businessman.

So the research of that would've been really interesting.
