If you want to see a more touching side of he (and Teller, who no one really understands) check out their "Magical Mystery Tour" where they went around the world touring esoteric street magicians (and cons) and whatnot.

His books are also sort of projecting this bad persona. Maybe having a family has changed him though but from what I can tell he does try his best to be considerate and kind to people. I think it's his driving force, even if his politics are almost completely wrong.
