thinking half dinner
Women always think that I'm Chandler, so if I don't joke around for half an hour they think that something's wrong. Then I explain that I don't have comedy writers scripting everything I'm saying at this particular dinner.
fun character thinking
Ninety percent of video game AI really is pretty damn bad. I think that's actually why it's so much fun to shoot things. Because the AI is so bad and the characters are so annoying.
party thinking used
I used to spend a lot of time just thinking about myself, thinking that the party started when I showed up.

I would love to have kids one day. In fact, I'm pretty good with them. I grew up with five half-siblings, the youngest of whom is 11 years younger than me, so I think I learned some pretty cool parenting skills quite early on in life.
career insane laugh paid people realized
When I was, like, 15, I realized there could be a career in making people laugh - like, you could get paid to do it. That was insane to me.
amazed figure people time trying
I'm amazed at how a lot of people have come up to me and said, 'That's about time that happened,' ... And I'm trying to figure out -- because we never really set anything up. It just kind of happened.
