Demetri Martin quotes about
ideas two sentences
Artistically, I find jokes really satisfying aesthetically, because there's something great about getting an idea down to a sentence or two.
night years two
Conclusions are based in time. We live in time. So any definition of success is bound up with time. With other things you can say, "Can I yo-yo? Can I juggle?" Usually you have a pretty small window in which to get your answer. Stand-up is different. You can't do stand-up for one night and say, "Am I a funny stand-up comedian?" In two months or two years you'll start to realize it.
two people internet
It feels like every day or two, people on Twitter and the Internet are outraged about something.
two stories comedy
It seems that two of the most basic forms of comedy are jokes and stories. And, of course, they are not mutually exclusive.
artist self two
THING TO TRY: If you are asked to describe a suspect to a police sketch artist, describe in precise detail, the features of the police sketch artist. This is one of the rare instances where two people can do one self-portrait.
distance two lines
The shortest distance between two idiots is a conga line.
two annoying god-bless-you
Earrings are the same as sneezes: Two is okay, but ten in a row is annoying. If you have two then, God bless you.

self years ive-learned
What I've learned about my self over the years is that I'm pretty restless. If I multitask it's probably because I have difficulty just focusing on one thing.
thinking ideas should
I like shorter jokes. I like fewer words. I think the more ideas there are the, the fewer words there should be.
hipster gay focus
I'm very hip-oriented. I focus on hips in my comedy - probably more than any other hipster comic who is out there hipping today. My hips, other hips. I work with my hips a great deal. That is what I do. But not in a gay way.
mistake journey thinking
I don't know if I'll ever be a master at anything, but I think that's a mistake for me personally. I don't know how much it's about the journey, but it's more about the process.
long negativity growth
For me, possibility, progress, growth, those things are very.. they feel very good. It doesn't usually come with negativity. I don't really mind sucking at something as long as I'm getting a little bit better at it along the way.
creativity way different
My family was fine, it's just a different way of going about life. Creativity was not something that was isolated and identified and valued.
