VIDEO : Patton Oswalt Credits Daughter for Saving Him After Wife's Passing

In a new interview, actor and comedian Patton Oswalt credits his seven-year-old daughter with helping him through the unexpected passing of wife Michelle McNamara last year. Oswalt says of his daughter Alice, "I?m forever glad that I have her. If I hadn?t had a daughter and my wife died, we wouldn?t be talking right now. I?m not saying I would be dead, but I would be a shut-in alcoholic.? He then added, "With Alice, it was and is ?You got to get up.? There are mornings when we?re late to school because I?m sad, but I?ve still got to get up. A night when I?ve had maybe one scotch with some friends, I?ll say, ?That?s it. I?ve got to take her to school tomorrow.'?
